Hello again,
ReginaBean here once again. My son just got out of a detox for 7 days off of Heroin. We were hoping he would be willing to go to a 28 day rehab, but he seems to think he is cured and that he just wants to see a counselor one on one. He said from what he saw in the detox center he will never touch the stuff again.
We are having a hard time believing this. He has been on it for around 8 months on a daily basis. I can't see how 7 days would cut a habit like that and be that easy. Even the detox unit recommended a 28 day program, but he refused. He says he wants to do it his way as far as recovery.
They told him to stay away from people, places and things. Well that lasted two days. He was picked up by a friend of his earlier and now he called and said he has no ride home now. Long Story!!! He was supposed to go to a meeting tonight too, and I was supposed to take him because I can't trust him to go himself or to have the car. This is not a good beginning to his so-called recovery.
I don't think it will be long until he is drug back in from his friends, he may not use heroin maybe, but something else. Alcohol comes to mind definitely. He is 22 years old and has his rights about where or how to handle his sobriety and recovery, but what about his parents? We have to lay down the law or else he cannot live with us anymore. If he wanted help like he said he did, I would think he would go to all measures, and he just wants to go halfway, maybe not even that.
Should we throw him out if he does not go to a rehab,meetings etc? That may be our only choice, if he is only out for two days and he is already out with his friends, who use, some of them anyway.
