[QUOTE="wantpeace, post: 517273, member: 14002"] Don't doubt yourself. You are providing your son with the help and information about drug use now before it gets worse. You are also giving your son's brain a chance to develop properly. It's a crucial age for the frontal lobe to develop, and drug use shuts that part of the brain down. When my difficult child went to IOP last year for failing a drug test for THC, I had absolutely no idea he had tried a magnitude of other drugs. It was shocking to see his drug chart. It was especially disheartening to find out he did most of his drug use alone in the basement at home! He was a gifted student and a joy to raise prior to involvement with drugs. I had to force him to go to treatment, but he ended up actually looking forward to it and was sad on the last day. He has since relapsed and is in a lot of legal trouble. He is currently in the inpatient program at the same facility he attended for IOP. Despite the fact that treatment hasn't cured him, I would do it again and again and again. I am providing every opportunity for him to get better and to be educated about the effects of drug use. The most important outcome has been the education I've received as a parent. I give you a lot of credit for providing your son with the help he needs. You will never look back and say you didn't do everything in your power to help him. Hugs, wantpeace [/QUOTE]
