[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 520279, member: 11001"] AG mine was a total of 2.5 years in RTCs and yes we got apologies at the the first place within a few weeks because their level changes were dependent on that. She seemed sincere at the time. There was a 3 month period where we really saw growth (medications. were right as well). Upon release from the first Residential Treatment Center (RTC) she refused the medications and did things even worse than before. Even if you get apologies you just never know if they are sincere. If they are sometimes they just cant stop the relapse cycle and do the same stuff again and again. To me the only real progress is "proof in the pudding" They change a bad behavior for a long time. They make ammends-pay back money or something. I have gotten very little of this. In 3 weeks you will not have his life changed but it is a start and if he will work the program, he has a chance. I would not let him drive or approve of the visits with these druggy friends at all. They need to be off his plate. Hugs and hang in there. [/QUOTE]
