[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 616154, member: 1967"] It has been my experience that 30-day programs don't work because they are not long enough. The first rehab my daughter went to was a 30-day program and she went right back to drinking and using when she was released. The second time (after she had moved on to heroin), we sent her to a 90-day residential treatment program followed by an intensive after care program and she has done well. She recently celebrated her 1-year sobriety date. It doesn't sound like your daughter has made enough progress to leave the treatment program. One other thing,if your daughter comes home to the same school, she will likely hook back up with her substance abusing friends. Has the treatment team spoken to you about after care? One of our members, comaheart, sent her teenage son to a special recovery high school which is very small and provides treatment and counseling along with academics. Have you looked into something like that for your daughter? The chance of relapse if she returns to the same environment is very high. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
