David,

I'm so glad that your son is getting the help that he needs. It is a huge step for him to recognize that he needs help and to accept treatment! I will keep your son in my prayers. Sending best wishes to you and your family...

David,

I am glad your son is getting help. Hopefully he now realizes what a terrible state he got himself into after using drugs... and that will be enough to really motivate him to stay sober.

My son came home from a 30 day stay at the inpatient treatment center. Insurance wouldn't pay any longer since he was doing better, which he is. Besides taking antidepressants, he'll go to weekly out patient treatment and AA or NA meetings. He already told some of his drug user friends that he can't hang out with them, as part of his recovery program.
He's taking it one day at a time.

I am so glad for both of you and I hope this is the beginning of a happier, healthier life. Stay strong, G-d bless

Like the rest of the family I am SO glad that you have seen forward progress and found a suitable placement to help your soon. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

If you would please remove the specific facility name from your post. As a rule we avoid references to a named program for a number of reasons. We don't want to be seen as recommending a program and we also want to assure the anonymous nature of our family posts. As you know this a wonderful group of supportive people but anyone and everyone has access via the internet and therefore taking great caution is in all our best interests.

I'm rootin' for your difficult child and all your family. Hugs DDD

I am so glad he is doing better. The days and weeks after release are so important. I hope he starts making contacts and friends with others in the program. It's essential that he surrounds himself with sober people

Such good news David thank you for sharing. I will continue to send prayers for you and your son. My easy child/difficult child is now 90 days sober. He says he is determined but also says that going to all the meetings is getting old. Soooooooo, I advise you to do as I am and keep you guard up. I sat my son down and we agreed on two AA meetings a week and two group therapy meetings each week for a total of 4 days of support. Two other evenings he goes to the Gym to work out and one night to the movies or to a sober friend's place for fun. Along with his FT job he stays busy. I think this is a key. With little down other than bedtime time they have less temptations.
