Thank you IlovemysonJJ. I remember reading some of your posts. I was trying to stay out of the way when I let my AS choose outpatient and to work a program on his own, with structure and support. The sober coach who runs the other outpatient program said it's important he wants to do whatever he does or it won't be effective. Thats why I went in that direction and to let him take more control over his own recovery, look for work, etc. However, after 1 week it is not working out.
If he's willing to go to inpatient, then I will have peace and time to think.
I can tell him to go. He will want all of his money I am holding for now, about $700 . I was hoping he's go into detox and treatment, rather than blow the money and OD, and perhaps with disastrous results.
Unfortunately he can't handle the lack of structure and freedom now. I still see rehab better than the streets.
