Both my kids went to rehab, neither was allowed home after... we got burned too, too many times.

And worse - it seemed to be a trigger for THEM, as well. So for ALL our sakes, they didn't come home.

Both tried Oxford Houses (sober living arrangements - put the term into a google search). Son excelled... daughter not so much. But both could only blame THEMSELVES when things went sour, and could take all the CREDIT when they did not.

It was an excellent experience for each of them... and a bit of a gentle way to ease them into some of the responsibilities of adulthood.
