((ddf)) - Welcome to SR, though I'm sorry for what has brought you here. I'm not familiar with treatment programs but I'm a recovering addict and a recovering codependent and can share my experience.

Though I never did go to treatment, I did have to be locked up for almost 6 months in a diversion center that was anything BUT nice. I stayed clean for a better part of a year and relapsed for a couple of weeks. I was on probation, facing possible prison time and my family had had it with me.

I chose recovery, came back home to my family and dealt with their anger, hurt, etc. I needed to suffer consequences to choose recovery. "Cushy" would not have worked for me. I hope you read around, as there are lots of parents here who are going through similar situations.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy
