Unhappy Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

We recently checked our son into a inpatient drug treatment program. He agreed to go after an intervention. He has been in the program for about 6 days and it has been nothing but torture for us. Telephone calls, text messages, etc. begging us to get him out of the program. Our son has been smoking pot, drinking alcohol, and recently graduated to crystal meth. Our intellect tells us he needs to be where he is but his pain is tugging at our heartstrings. He is almost 20 yrs old and could actually leave the program if he wanted however he is about 1,000 miles from home and about 500 miles from any close friends. Can anyone share thier experience and let us know how to deal with him?
