[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 739302, member: 18958"] I agree. My son has been in several dual diagnosis treatment programs. He responded in both [B][I][U]because he was off drugs.[/U][/I][/B] He was transferred out of the first one, I think because they thought his problems were too serious. The second and third programs were fly by night. All of these were paid for by insurance. My son likes the idea of thinking of his problems as related to mental illness. Why? Because he loves the drugs. He will deal with short term abstinence...necessary while he is treatment...and as soon as he is out, resumes the drugs, which he sees as positive.... He knows he is self-medicating, but he does not care. I agree with RN. I do not ever want my son close to me in any kind of sustained way, unless he completes a faith based program such as Salvation Army, even though I am not a Christian. I truly believe the issue is primarily drugs, and the way they come to live, and think while drugs have been the only important things in their lives. They really come to live like animals, in my view, and these long faith-based programs re-socialize them. [/QUOTE]
