[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 681384, member: 15032"] I believe he is getting out of rehab this weekend after 21 days. Or possibly next week after 28 days. I agree neither is long enough but that's what insurance dictates. His dad is driving him to Delray Beach for intensive outpatient treatment and sober living. He will check everything out and make sure he has what he needs. My husband is very thorough so he is in excellent hands. After six months or so if he is successful he will then go to college. He said he is ready to put this behind him. He wants to accomplish his goals and go to school. He has said that both times we have had family meetings. No one has coerced him into saying this. He realizes that his poor choices got him where he is now which is not where he wants to be. I think that most are forced into treatment at some point but then are usually glad they are there and know it's what they need. Will it stick? Only the man upstairs knows. Kathy yes of course I'm worried because I always think of the worse case scenario. Colleen we are excited about this because he is and we are hopeful. Copa I don't believe he can go to the military because he is on Effexor for anxiety/depression. However, he really wants to go to school. We're giving him this chance but he knows its on him to make it successful and a good experience or not. As I told him, he can go to the best program in the country and not stay sober or the worst program and stay sober. It's all up to the individual. I think the shock of us telling him he cannot be home with us is a wake up call to him. That is so out of character for us. [/QUOTE]
