[QUOTE="dadside, post: 274953, member: 5707"] I think all the important points have been made. While a good wilderness program would help in the self-esteem department, and would eliminate marijuana at least for the term of the program, I'd advise against spending the substantial sum involved in your son's case. Wilderness did wonderful things for my son, but he asked for the help first. For kids younger than 18, wilderness may be a valuable part of a larger plan. But as your son would return to the same environment, the gain from wilderness will prove short-lived. Perhaps a local counselor could help both of you -- your son with his concerns, and you with ways to support new directions for your son. I think the "self-medication" has to stop as well, or there will be little point to other things. There are a number of good programs to help there, including locally-operated ones. [/QUOTE]
