Hi,
My son has been using since he was 16. He's 27 now and has spent the last 10 months in a jail alternative rehabilitation program. He has been in and out of halfway houses and always went voluntarily except for once when he was released into custody of a private halfway house instead of doing jail time.

The Naranon meetings will help and you might want to look into Alanon too because sometimes there are more of them to choose from.The principles for the codependents are the same in both programs. For many years my home group was Alanon. I also got help from attending open NA and AA meetings. I learned there how it is for the addict/alcoholic and the strength of their programs was inspiring.

I'm so glad you found this forum and look forward to seeing you around.
