Hi SadMabel, after my sons second relapse last spring, we let him move back home and he was supposedly involved in an IOP. During this time (he was 21) , he didn't have a job, he was supposedly looking. He ended up selling his suboxone for drugs and began stealing from us. We thought he was seeking recovery, because he was going to IOP and he was going to AA, but he wasn't serious about recovery. After he got out of in patient rehab, he moved to SLE. There he got a job and that is when the temptation overtook him again. I was paying for the SLE and giving him some basic food money and necessities (bus pass, grocery store card, clothing). He relapsed within 2 months and I feel that working gave him the money to buy that first hit again. After that, he stole again. There really is no easy way to go about this. I would encourage his participation in recovery and watch his actions very closely.
