[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 747679, member: 22877"] You just nailed it, and he's actually saying the same thing. Obviously he can create a new network of "friends" anywhere he goes but I do feel that he has a better chance of success being away from home where he already has an existing network. That's the main reason we brought him back to Florida in the first place, to get him away from the ex and the other people in his substance use network. He's still not been successful but this time h'e showing a little more promise than previous attempts. I've been googling all day and most of last night and have a list of possibilities for him to check into. I've even spoken to a couple of people. One sounded very hopeful, Recovery 54, and it's about 4 hours from us. The fly in the ointment is the $350 to move in (deposit and first week's rent) plus he would have no way to pay rent going forward until he starts getting paycheck. But if that place is the one that he's meant to go to, something will work out. I've done some preliminary research, now it's up to my son and his care team to get detailed information and make arrangements, if possible, and after that it's completely in God's hands. Thanks for the tip on the Rescue Mission...I hadn't even thought about that route! I've added several FL Rescue Mission numbers to the list I had already prepared. Maybe he could stay at one of them until he can accumulate the money to move into something better, like Recovery 54 or a great sounding place I found in Clearwater that offers a whole range of excellent services. Again, though, this is more in God's hands at this point than in mine or even my son's [/QUOTE]
