[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 586573, member: 12490"] I like your idea of letting him have options for aftercare. The problem is that the "option" he wants in not one supported by this rehab. he wants to go back to the IOP group that he was in before. This rehab feels that that IOP group was not good for him that he made many nagative connections and it exacerbated his use. He disagrees saying it is where he is comfortable and wnats to go and that he wasn't serious about it before and that's why it was negative. His language is very controlling - he is not open to anything anyone is suggesting - just what he wants. He is not talking about pursuing hobbies, says he's not interested in anything - he is talking about getting a job - but that will be hard to do. How will he explain being 17 and available to work during the day (because homeschooling is in the late afternoon)? I'm not sure how many employers would be open to giving an expelled kid a chance. We live in a small town - the places he will seek work will inevitably have other kids working there who know his story - the managers will ask "hey do you know this kid" before hriing, I know how it works. Worry, worry. If anyone has any input on aftercare options - or even weigh in on if we should just "force" AA - that would be helpful. What do you think about going back to IOP? I did look for SMART groups - I don't see any in our state. [/QUOTE]
