[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 711611, member: 15032"] Teriobe: The sober living program is not covered by insurance at all and that is where the one year mark starts. He will have to pay his own rent and/or if he's in college full time while there (which they support) we will help with that cost. He is transferring to an IOP today and that is also covered by insurance thank GOD as well as his rehab and detox. The sober living is right there too. I am a bit nervous because this place literally opened in December 2016 so it's all new but I can't have this anxiety and have to put it in God's hands. We did meet with the owners and it seemed good and his therapist highly recommended it. He finally called husband yesterday which was his first call to us since we saw him on Monday. He called before I got off work so he knew I would not be home. I am actually glad that I was not there. He and I were very close most of his life so I am glad he is reaching out to his father. My husband said he seemed in good spirits about the move to new place and they talked about college. Like many his age, my son has never taken a bus in his life. Oh well he's going to now. So Ready to Live: Son does not know that WE know he made up anxiety and A.D.D. to get pills. His therapist just told me yesterday. I never thought this was even a possibility. I told husband about it yesterday and he said he is actually GLAD he does not have such bad anxiety. I am very angry that he lied about this. I think of myself for the past six years and how horrible it was to feel my son had such bad anxiety and trying to help him so much etc. I take it very personally. Yes it is truly exhausting and yes I also have so much compassion for those young adults holding signs on the road. I feel for their parents and I never thought much about it before. I think that going through this makes us appreciate each other and the good things in life so much more than before. I really believe in life that everything happens for a reason. I cannot even imagine the reason that our family and our son has had to go through this and where it will all end but I do hope that someday I find that answer. [/QUOTE]
