[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 721454, member: 1967"] Hi RN. I am so sorry that you had to go through this. I can't say that I am surprised. It is exactly what my daughter would have done. Your son thought he was winning the battle to get out of Florida but I don't think that he thought you would really make him go to the new place. He tried his very best to manipulate you and get you to let him go home. My daughter would make all sorts of crazy promises to get what she wanted but never really meant them. I am so glad that you and your husband stayed strong. I know how hard that was for both of you. Now your son knows that he really has no other choice than to stick with this program. He realizes that you are getting stronger and can hold firm boundaries. It truly is all up to him now to use this opportunity to get sober. My daughter went to rehabs from a low rent community based center to a fancy rehab on the beach. She went to one that cost $35,000 a month and was located in a run down neighborhood. It was an excellent program. So was the community based rehab that cost $750 a month. It isn't about the location or how much the place costs. You said that the one your son is in now has a high success rate. I would go by that rather than the location or how nice the building is. He will probably keep trying to make you feel bad and let him leave. Do they have a policy that limits contact at the beginning? It might be best to only have supervised family calls at the beginning. {{{hugs}}} ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
