[QUOTE="Mirabelle, post: 762689, member: 28712"] Thank you RN. Those three words - stability, happiness, independent. The things we want the most for our sons. But you are so right - they continually elude them (and us.) I don't think my stepson is really buying into this latest rehab. As you say, I do not think he is ready to change and follow the rules of society. We have some friends with a daughter who went through the same program and has been able to successfully maintain her sobriety for 7+ years. She says the place was the best she had been to and that it really saved her life. So I think the quality help is there but it doesn't work without buy in from the patient / client. My son admitted to my husband that he has skipped some sessions. He already has ideas about getting a place to live with a fellow rehabber when they finish the program. We would like him to get into some kind of supported housing / sober living - the rehab offers several after care options. To be totally negative but totally honest at this very moment, I think he is looking forward to getting back to sitting in a hotel room getting high, with no job or responsibilities to cramp his style. If he had money in his bank account right now I think there is a good chance he would have walked already. Real talk lol. I just want peace of mind for my long suffering, lovely husband. I thank you for your prayers, and you have mine in turn. :):) [/QUOTE]
