[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 685651, member: 15832"] My son has been in several rehabs. The first time, we let him come home. He relapsed the next day. The second time, he went straight to a structured sober living place. He stayed there 9 months and then went to a less structured place. That was 3 years ago, and he has grown up somewhat. He's had a couple of relapses and exacerbation of his depression and anxiety, but he's doing better today. I would not help him come home, hard as that may be. You are absolutely right to think of it in terms of saving his life, because heroin is a deadly habit. He could overdose, destroy his liver from hepatitis C, damage his heart with endocarditis. I think that in this case, the end justifies the means. On the other hand, addicts can be amazingly resourceful, and if he really wants to leave, he might just find a way without your help. [/QUOTE]
