[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 720745, member: 19290"] LBL Exactly Lots of kids say they'll still smoke pot when they come out of rehab. I would ignore that particular hot potato. Giving them a pause from their substance filled lives is still very valuable, I think. Being sober makes the possibilities that open up with sobriety seem more real. I think it helps them to envision something different at least. Plus they get a lot of tools for analyzing their own patterns so they can separate out a core from a cluster of coping mechanisms. If nothing else, they aren't adding to their shame pile for some length of time. And for you, you can know he got that respite and education. My sons stint in inpatient and outpatient gives me the confidence that he knows more help is out there when he decides to seek it. It takes the burden off me to "sell" help. [/QUOTE]
