I guess the point I was making that jail/prison is not always a bottom for an addict. Hopefully it is for every ones loved ones. Going to court ordered treatment is usually a good thing and positive thing. I apologize for upsetting anyone.
We DO know that jail is not necessarily the bottom for any addict. It certainly has not been for my A stepson. He has been in and out of jail and once in prison for the past 1.5 years. Also, we know that ordering someone into treatment may not be helpful either. A recovery program works only if the addict is willing to work it.
Katie, I'm hoping and praying for peace for you and your son.
Hugs, HG
