[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 39252, member: 27"] Stacy, First of all, I totally understand when you say "our". I'm sure that you have been on house arrest as much as he has. Depending on what type of drug test, because so many places now sell things to help produce a clean drug test, the tests can show up as tainted or diluted. So, if his test was clean, I'd not let my guard down, but I'd be fairly confident that it was a true clean test, as the court system more than likely uses a pretty sophisticated testing system. Hopefully he can continue that after his house arrest ends. Even with an early curfew, our kids can still get into all kinds of trouble. Yes, he has to want it, but I also agree that "nudging" (aka letting him know in no uncertain terms that it won't be tolerated and he'll either have to 'voluntarily' go to a treatment facility or will be sent to juvie), especially at your son's age, is crucial. I know when my son was 14, we did just that. He wasn't complying and was still drugging, so we had to "nudge" (force) treatment. My heart goes out to you, as I know how hard this is. Hang in there though. Doing everything you can do now to help him turn things around can make a difference. Yes, he has to want it, but hopefully he'll see that his life can be so much better without drugs. Hugs, Deb [/QUOTE]
