[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 494197, member: 3710"] My difficult child recently entered an inpatient rehab program for drugs and we did not have to get a referral from a doctor or therapist before he entered this program. I called several drug treatment centers when I was doing research and an intake person asked me a lot of questions about my son and his problems. Then I made an appointment with one program for an assessment, and I took my son for a meeting at the center. At the assessment the intake person asked my son a lot of questions (without me present), and of course they checked our insurance to see how much our insurance would cover for inpatient. This program approved my son for inpatient right after the assessment interview, and then they called us a day later to set up a start date for the program. I know that my son had to agree that he needed help with his drug problem before he could enter an inpatient program. I had to make 3 different appointments for the assessment before I could convince difficult child to actually get in the car and go to this appointment. I hope that you can convince your son that he should go to an inpatient program. My son only agreed to go because he knew that he could walk out at any time, since it is not a lock down facility and he is 18 an supposed to be an adult. He would not have been clean of the drugs if he went to an outpatient program and then he had the rest of the day to hang out with his druggie friends and get high. My difficult child had to be in a place that was completely away from all his friends in order to be clean. * I am still navigating my way around this forum, but I think that there is a FAQ page that lists all the acronyms on this forum. You can also send private messages, and if you want any more info about the inpatient programs that I found for my son, just PM me. [/QUOTE]
