[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 681217, member: 1967"] Oh my. I don't even know where to start. First of all, 13 days in rehab is nothing. Your son is not anywhere ready to leave. Personally, I don't think 30 days is enough time to accomplish anything and he will need an IOP that lasts much longer than two weeks. My daughter spent three months in one of the best rehabs in the country that is located in Deerfield Beach. She then followed that with a recommended sober house in Delray Beach (which unfortunately I can't remember). She relapsed almost immediately and spent the next four years bouncing from rehab to IOP to halfway houses and then would start the process all over again. There are so many halfway houses in the Delray area. It is called the recovery capital of the world. Unfortunately, as my daughter said, it also means that are a lot of relapsed addicts in the area so drugs are plentiful. Many of the halfway houses in Delray and the surrounding areas are being investigated for insurance fraud. My daughter said some even paid her to stay there so they could collect money from her insurance company. They get around it by calling it IOP so the insurance will pay for it. I also just read an article about halfway houses in south Florida billing insurance thousands of dollars for $12 urine tests. As far as getting the benzos, that is exactly what my daughter did. She used her insurance policy that we paid for to get the benzos. There are halfway houses that let them take them with a prescription if they have anxiety issues. In my daughter's case, it always led back down the path to substance abuse. My daughter surprised us recently by showing up at our door in Georgia. We told her that she couldn't stay and she is now in a 35 day inpatient program here. When she told the intake person about her four years in south Florida bouncing from rehab to halfway house and back, the person told her that they have a name for that. It's called the south Florida shuffle. I am not saying that there are no good halfway houses in Florida. Your son just doesn't sound ready to leave rehab and I am worried he will end up in an even worse situation. Just my two cents. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
