- Looking for some schools for troubled teens - ranch types with kids with drug problems. Year long programs.... My son really needs to be in some kind of in-patient rehab but refuses to go to our local 45 stay facility. We need to whisk him away...
- Is anyone familiar with long term rehab centers that offer counseling, rehab, and schooling. Found one in Montana but it's so far away from where we live. Anyone experience a place such as this?
- Has anyone ever heard of Spring Creek Lodge? It's a boarding school for troubled teens, including ones with addiction. Has anyone ever had their child in a place such as that and, if so, can you tell what the experience was like?I read a book...
- I have a 16 yr. old son. Trying to figure out if he's crossed the line or not. Don't know why I need to know now. It won't change anything right now. Son has a list of arrests over a 3 month period (never in trouble before) and because of the...
- My 16 yr. old was up to eye balls in drugs...As of late it was estacy and cocaine. He's had a lot of pressure from us, the law (no court date yet - just keeps getting into trouble) and even his friends who are using to stop the latest drugs. He...
- The other day on TV the show Cops was on. I wasn't watching it but I heard something on the show that perked my ears up, so to speak. It was some kind of drug raid, I believe, and one of the policeman mentioned something about drug paraphernalia...
- I have a 16 yr. old son that has replaced smoking pot and other drugs by drinking instead. I have never seen him obviously intoxicated because he comes home very late at night after drinking earlier in the day. My husband and I are working on...
- My 16 yr. old mentioned in his I.M. (my huaband and I are tracking it because of his drug abuse) and he and his friends were talking about mushrooms and what fun they were having with them. I was surprised to find that he did anything (any kind of...
- I managed to get the court to order a hair sample drug test to get a more extensive reading for my son. He thought he was just going to have a urine test. He told me that he would have tested negative for the urine test, but not the hair sample. I...
- My son is engaging in all kinds of drugs -- I think. Anyway, he left a message on his IM, by mistake, and told one of his friends that he took two rolls before a running race he was in at school. When asked what kind he said Green Monkeys. He said...
- Story in a nutshell: Son has been engaging with pot. I can't tell how much -- if at all anymore. I am confused. I am seeing behavior, however, like by 2nd born..when he had depression. He has a short temper, cries easily, throw things... Part of the...
- My almost 16 year old son is engaging in pot. Since school let out, and since he had a soccer injury, his usage has increased....too many signs to ignore. The police found his backpack in the park with a pipe a few weeks back --he claimed it wasn't...
- We (my husband and I) have briefly been through this with our 15 yr. old son....smoking pot. We thought (or hoped) he was finished with this nonsense. We weren't naive. We thought he could still be dabbling (and perhaps he still is) but we weren't...
- My son will be a junior in high school next year. He's had an I.E.P since 6th grade. It wasn't until 2 years ago that I realized that I had to do something to try and get my son more help. Naively, I thought that once the accommodations were in...
- I realize that kelli7 already has this book "Yes, Your Teen is Crazy" by Dr. Michael Bradley, posted in RECOMMMENDATIONS, but this book is SOOO good and helpful I would like to highlight it in DISCUSSIONS because it's that good! I recommend this...
