 This was message I posted on a msn forum. I am a grandfather and understand some what the crisis you are in, I have a brother in law that took that same path and it has not been a good path. The value of friends to these teens can not be measured. He like your son lost his church ties and friendships and the drug element filled the void. I also am a webmaster for a group of regional boarding schools that get teens off drugs and back into life. See www.teenatrisk.com or www.crosscreek4teens.com these schools are pricy but they have the highest success ratios in the nation. And a 99% parent satisfaction rating. Your son wiether he is experimenting or using or addicted he is on very dangerous ground. The potency of some of those drug change the thought patterns to the point that a very least they need about one to two years isolation just to get over the physiological and psychological pull of the drugs. My brother in law did not go to treatment (It would have proved to be the cheapest option) because he was over 18 and denied services, his father finally had to get a restraining order to keep him from ever visiting the home. There is nothing of financial value left in the home, (jewlery, silverware, guns, bonds, paintings), he's stolen most of it, or it was sold for his legal defenses and he skipped bail twice because he was high at court time costing the folks a $47,000 mortgage on a paid for home. Now in their mid70s , on a fixed retirement income, my folks in law are still trying to help but he is living on the streets, stealing what he can for his habits. Our outlook is not good knowing he will die of one of the many health problems of addicts. There is more to this story (his 2 kids from out of wedlock), it has cost the folks over $100,000 over the past 10 years to try and help him. I hope your story has a better outcome if you can afford the above mention services I personally recommend them. Webmaster@aateens.com Act Now Visit the rest of the site.
