[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 484146"] Decided it was time for a new thread since I am not so sick at heart at the moment. So I talked to the sober living place and I feel much better. They told me that because he is coming from detox rather than the treatment program that changes things a bit. Their experience is that people coming straight from detox to their normal sober living did not usually do well. 7 out of 10 relapsed because they were still experiencing a lot of the cravings and were not ready. So they created a different program where for 2 weeks they were in a separate location with intensive meetings etc. This had much better results. Even though my son might drug test clean at this point (spice might not show up) it still would be a good idea. Of course there is an extra cost for this but given what programs cost it is very very reasonably priced. I feel better about this concept because I am pretty leery of him being ready to go straight to sober living after what just happened. So he was going to call the person at the detox and preesnt this option to my son....he has to be willing and want to do this for us to be willing to pay for it. TL [/QUOTE]
