As always, I'm overwhelmed by the love. The Good news now is that the county will pay for a 28 day rehab stay which is a true blessing. He'll be doing through a 4 day rapid detox of suboxone, which won't kill, but will be painful. My son says he'll go through anything for help.
Monday I drive him from the detox to the rehab, only about 1 1/2 hours away, not to bad and I can visit and participate in family meetings if deemed OK. Still keeping my fingers crossed, as we know it's one step at a time.
If it's OK with everyone I'd like to print out this thread and show it to my son.
