[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 511024"] Well I am going to sleep well this weekend. I have been sleeping well this last week but I talked to my sons therapist at the residential section and it just felt good and reassuring to talk to her, get a bit of a read on how my son is doing and to know he is stil there and safe. Apparently he is doing fine, has been cooperative and appropriate. He seems a bit depressed and probably anxious as most people are when they get out of detox... new place, new people and of course he does not have substances to cover up those difficult feelings. I did ask her what he had to detox from.... all I knew for sure he was using was spice. Her comment was you don't need to detox from spice, although it can cause brain damage. Great. But he was detoxing from alcohol. Which means he must have been drinking a lot of it.... but I am relieved it was alcohol and not heroin. Apparently he has acknowledged he has a problem and has messed up his life. So that is good. Apparently he does not have his phone but i could call him. I said I was willing to do that but that I want this to be his journey and i don't want to intrude or try to run it..... and she agreed that I should wait until I hear from him. I did put some money into his patient account for hygiene stuff etc... but that account is very much controlled by the place. So anyway it is a good start to the weekend. TL [/QUOTE]
