Toodles, Our 27 yr. old son is in a halfway, mission, homeless shelter. Been there for 3 weeks. It was that or nothing. He couldnt live with us anymore and his girlfriend kicked him out. During his 3rd detox they said this was a good place for him. Took him 4 days to decide. We took him there. They have many rules, random drug testing and he has to get a job and do at least 5 meeting a week there or they will provide transportation to others. Also jobs for a while. He seems to enjoy it and actually said that he thinks it would be good for him to be there at least 6 months or more!!!! Good environment, support system and they are all there to help each other. So far so good. He passed the random drug test on Sat. and said that for a change he didnt have to worry about passing it. Because he knew he would!. Very proud of himself. So we are hoping that this will be the turning point for him. Hope this gave you some insight. Good luck.
