[QUOTE="stressedmama, post: 636554, member: 18412"] We just went through this with my SD. My husband spent a LOT of time on the phone with her detox counselor. It took a lot of prodding but convinced the counselor that SD had a lot of support and she had good potential to be "saved." The counselor was great and did find a rehab center for her to go to. Unfortunately, as it turns out, the rehab she went to was only short term so she was only there for a week. After many more phone calls and literally begging people for help, they finally found her a halfway house to transfer her to. This is still very new (last day she used was 9/15/14) but between detox and the 2nd facility, she had 15 days sober going into the halfway house. It's a minimum 90 days, max 1 year. She stays as long as she's following the rules and really working the program. Has to pay room and board, get a job, meetings, indiv counseling, group counseling, etc. She seems to be committed and is looking forward to getting her 30 day chip. My point is, no one is going to work harder at getting your kid help than you are. However, once you work harder than your kid at their rehab, it's a bust. Do whatever it takes to get him in a long-term program and then leave it up to him to do the hard work. Good luck with everything. Hugs! [/QUOTE]
