[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 685692, member: 1967"] I don't agree with your interventionist. When we held our intervention, the interventionist made it very clear that it would be a 3 month program followed by aftercare which included IOP and living in a halfway house. That said, I personally would tell your son that you are going to follow the advice of the experts at his facility as to when he should leave. Put it back on him and his progress (or lack thereof) and let him blame the therapists that he is working with if they tell him that he is not ready to return home. I would also make it very clear that when he returns home it will not be under the same circumstances. He is an adult and needs to live a clean, sober life and function like an adult. It is not up to you to support an adult. As hard as it is going to be, you need to step back and remove yourself from the situation. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
