[QUOTE="worried sick mother, post: 685631, member: 19069"] When we did the intervention on my son, the interventionalist told him rehab for 30 days, he said you never tell anyone longer than that during an intervention or they won't go to rehab. Our plan has been for him to stay much longer and even do sober living. He is at a rehab in the middle of the desert so he can't walk off and he's very far from home so no one could go get him, a plane ticket is very expensive. May 2nd will be 30 days and he is already messaging me that he is miserable and ready to leave. He hasn't ask to leave now but is asking if I have his plane ticket to leave on May 2nd. I definitely don't think 30 days plus 10 days of detox is long enough to stay clean from heroin. He would be coming back to his girlfriend who I'm certain is still using and back to the exact same environment. He pretty much already hates me and blames me for everything bad in his life including his drug use. My question is do you guys think I should refuse to get him a plane ticket after the 30 days and make him stay longer? My prayer was that he would want to stay longer once he got there but looks like that's not going to happen. I know he will despise me even more if I do that but I'm more concerned about keeping him alive. What would you guys do?? [/QUOTE]
