my son is in a 31 day inpatient program.he is now on his 21st day. the problem now is that he is adamant about not doing an additional 90 days of extended care. i am willing to go along with the professionals and tell my son that he can not come home if he doesn't do the extended care. my husband isn't quite there yet, and voiced his oppinion in our family meeting that he still isn't sure that he needs extended care, or that he is even an addict. ugh. now, the facility is saying that they will have to ask him to leave on saturday (day 22) if he won't agree to go to the extended care. the additional 90 days are another 21,000 dollars. it is not the money issue... we will find it, or borrow it. it is just that with my husband not convinced that he needs it, and the fact that he is our only breadwinner, he worries about being able to earn that 21 grand to replace in our pension. i understand that he worries about the money, and since he is not "convinced" that our son is an addict at all, it is difficult for him to be where i am right now.
well, now that i have rambled, and even i have lost my train of thought... any comments are welcome... i feel like i don't know what to do.
see my post in the marijuana forum for my response.
