[QUOTE="Carri, post: 667631, member: 17790"] Sorry to hear this Echo. Yep, I've been through this with my son too. He was sentenced to a 2 year residential treatment facility and just walked away after 14 months. He would have had his felony erased if he completed the program. Instead, had a warrant out for his arrest, was picked up 6 months later in Hollywood Ca (big city!) living in a car and was sentenced to a year in Prison. Since he's been released, he's been in and out of jail more than 6 times and is currently homeless. Heroin addiction is a beast. Seems like it would be so much easier for them to just follow the rules but drugs are obviously too powerful for them. All we can do is hope and pray that they reach such painful bottom that they actually surrender and do anything that can to get well; surrounding themselves with people in recovery. They know where to go, what to do. It's bedtime for me right now and I ask God to please take over my worries so that I can get to sleep since he's going to be up all night anyhow. Reading your post makes me sad for you and your son, but it helps to know I'm not the only one going through these situations. Hang in there. Carri [/QUOTE]
