Its a substantial amount but I can afford it, if I have some confidence that it may do some good. That is why I want him to take the steps of going to the doctor to get a referral. The previous rehab (3 weeks) was paid by insurance. I paid $2000 for an after care program which was recommended but he dropped out within 2 weeks (relapsed).
He came to our house today to eat and for the internet (he says he is job hunting). I was at work and came back late. My wife says he was almost in tears and first time in months opened up a little to her. He has a lot of anger in him -mostly over little things people have said to him over the years. I have heard that anxiety and depression is anger turned inwards. It could be that he is self medicating to deal with these feelings.
