I brought up in the session that I wasn't so sure that being back in our home would be the best for our son in his early recovery, and that's when he got so mad.
We made the decision (every time) to have our daughter leave our home - WHILE she was in rehab. She had the support there she needed to get through the pain of that decision, and it was a good one for us.

It is hard... very, very hard. But it was the first real, solid boundary that SHE could see from us. It was important, too, because she relapsed each and every time she came home. The familiar territory was just too familiar.

And I don't know about other halfway houses, but the Oxford Houses both son and daughter went to following rehab we very drug INTOLERANT. Get caught using and you have 15 MINUTES to pack your crap and go...

I think he is blowing smoke...
