[QUOTE="DDD, post: 445557, member: 35"] It's been almost ten years since easy child/difficult child went to rehab. He was diagnosis'd as an alcoholic at thirteen or fourteen. When he was drunk last week he said "maybe I need to go to rehab?" Sadly, of course, I didn't and don't put any credance into that statement. But, just for the heck of it I looked at Fl. residential facilities and this one (very nice) program had on the Internet "often treatment is fully paid for by insurance". Hmmmmm. Yes he has BC/BS still available. Hmmmm..."maybe" I thought this group has sizable endowments?? I called. Without skipping a beat the lady said "of course it depends on what policy you have". When I told her she laughed. Then she said "they only pay $2500" and our thirty day program costs $21,000 so you would have to pay the difference up front for him to be admitted." Yeah, right. What insurance company in the world pays $ 21,000 for a month's treatment???? I doubt Bill Gates or Ruperd Murdock has such a policy. Crazy. I just can't believe the advertisement said that. It isn't upsetting because I don't think he will ever be ready for a program anyway. How silly of me! DDD [/QUOTE]
