Hi, I have seen my son twice in open house settings. That was early in his recovery (three weeks in rehab, then just over one month for second visit). After that, he is off the grid. I have heard that when they don't call, that is actually a good thing because they are really focusing on themselves. I would go see my son again in a heartbeat, but also know that he is focusing on the things he needs to and part of that is including his ability to not see us and gain ground on his feelings around our past. The visits by the way scared my two teenagers, they were not comfortable being around so many recovering addicts. I actually learned quite a bit by talking to the residents, they are all trying to rebuild their lives. BTW, the rehab my son is in is very strict! They don't allow visits unless they are open house types and that was during the holidays.
When I drop stuff off for my son, I am not allowed to even say hi.
