[quote=Anonymous]OP, don’t look at outpatient programs. Look at an inpatient rehab program that lasts at least 3 months (6 would be better). As he nears the end of the program, talk with the people there about what is the best next step for him. Most people cannot get or stay clean if they stay in the same place. They fall back in with their old friends and old habits. So wahetever his best step is after getting clean, it probably can’t be a return to your house and his current school. Maybe that means boarding school or a reform/military program, though I wouldn’t make that my go to. Maybe it means living with a relative in another part of the country. At the very least, it means a different school, different friends, and new activities. Good luck. OP, the odds aren’t really in your favor. The sooner you start, the more likely it is that you’ll successfully save your son. [/quote]
