[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 739599, member: 23349"] Yes, it does. Sorry I misunderstood - it sounds like you've already worked through a lot of the detaching on the financial liability side. I think OTE has given some good advice here. I'm in much the same spot as you with my eldest - I can't have him here, but I don't want to completely stop offering guidance and support when/if he is trying to help himself. I don't know enough about how those community places work myself to offer specific advice for you to give your son (or me to give my son, for that matter). I agree with OTE that treatment won't be successful if he can't come to it from a place of honesty - he has to be able to be honest with both himself and others. But surely these places are familiar with the kinds of problematic behaviors and mental health issues that go along with addiction? I can't imagine that many people who end up there fit the model of the "functional" addict holding down a good job and without any brushes with the law. Sounds like our sons will both be working through these issues. [/QUOTE]
