[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 504930"] Ok so difficult child called me with the names of three places that he said he was given by the IOP and the owner of his current place. I told him I would call my contact there and check them out... then I got some complaints about that guy which i paid no attention to. I called my contact and told him about the 3 places. One of them is the place they send people who are really down and out with no money at all but it is a pretty bad place, the other two places were absolute not otherwise specified. No accountability, they can do whatever they want type places. He checked with the owner and no way would he recommend them!!!! He gave me the name of 3 reputable places they would recommend. Plus another smaller treatment program. At least one of the places tests for spice. So I called difficult child back and asked him again where did he get those names from. "people". LOL yeah right, other residents!!! I told him the owner would not recommend them. I then gave him the names of the recommended places plus the tx program if he would consider that. I also told them the program needs to drug test, including spice. He said most of them don't... I said that is one of our requriements since you keep relapsing on spice. He said but I didn't this time... and I said well ok but we know you did at least twice before!! So he said ok... is going to check out those places and call me back. He is being discharged today... so I know I am compromising a bit.... but at least feel that holding the line for a strict reputable sober house is a good thing. I guess I feel that this is the advice from recovering addicts that know the scene down there... and really if we can keep him getting help before he goes into the serious drug addictions like heroin or meth that is better. Maybe not but I feel ok following the advice of the manager of the sober house. At least at the moment he is not coming back up here. TL [/QUOTE]
