[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 525877, member: 59"] Welcome NurseMia. First of all I asked to have your post moved to it's own thread. You posted on an old thread and your message will get lost here and we don;t want that to happen. I am sorry you had to find us but I'm glad you did. In my opinion you should not use drug treatment as a last resort. Your son has a drug problem and the sooner you get him into treatment the better. That's not to say treatment always works the first time, often it doesn't. But it is what he needs now before his drug abuse escalates. Your son is stil a minor so you have the say on whether he gets treatment. In three more years you will lose that, so it's important you act now. If your church has someone that is willing to sponsor you son I think that is wonderful. For so many of us the financial part of treatment is a huge roadblock. My difficult child began smoking pot and drinking. She is now smoking spice, using mushrooms, snorting opiates, and I have no idea what else. You are already seeing that pot use leads to other things. My difficult child has also been a handful since very early on. I say she never outgrew the terrible twos and it just went downhill from there. Nancy [/QUOTE]
