[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 578871, member: 2315"] Payla, I am sorry and I know how hard this is on you but he [U][B]CAN[/B][/U] go to a shelter and be warm and out of the storm. Many shelters have added supports for people to assist them in geting help with adictions and MI issues. [U][B]And [/B][/U]he has a little money he can either use for food or he will use it for drugs to stave off withdrawal. His choice, There is nothing you can/should do but hope for his bottom so he can start to climb out of the hole he has dug for himself. Do not feel guilty. Bottom line: if he wants to be sober all he has to do is stop using. When you think of it like that, it puts it all back on him where it should be. I am certain given your son's history that he will not be detoxing alone in a car in the middle of a blizzard. I know how your mother's heart is feeling because I have been in your shoes. If he is serious about recovery he will find a program for the indigent. If not he will find a way to get the drugs. It is what they do.
