[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 504836"] Its a good question Janet. I really don't know to be honest. I don't believe there is any over the counter test for spice... I think that has to be done at the lab which is why a lot of places dont test for it. My difficult child did say several people had false positives... but who really knows. You are probably right he is probably lying to us. I do not want to do as you suggest and set him up in an apt with first/last months rent. I think that is a definite set up to fail. We thought of doing that way back when he was here.... but I am not going to do that now. I don't want to do anything that will definitely send him further down the road of hard drug use and I think the apartment idea would do that. The thing is I think a part of him really does want help.... I still remember him saying to me when he was in the pscyh hospital that he wants to stop being miserable. The problem is I think for him the only way he knows how to do that is with drugs. He is really lost and needs the structure and help of something and I think a part of him wants that. He has more than a touch of ODD..... hence my search for "conduct disorder" which got me to this site. LOL. I am feeling anxious about all of it... and clearly need to wait until I hear more from somebody. I do know that we are not willing to pay big bucks for the really expensive luxurious treatment places that costs thousands of dollars a month.... what we are paying now for the sober living is similar to rent up here... so yeah it adds up but we can manage it. We would be paying more in expenses if he was living away at college. I just don't know.... I am at a loss right now... maybe I will go back to bed for awhile. TL [/QUOTE]
