Please pray for my son. His father (my ex) and I took him to a drug rehab. yesterday. It was his 18th birthday.
He will be in there for at least 22 days. So that means over Christmas. Please pray that he will do well and that the Lord will give him strength.
Thanks

So that means over Christmas. Could also mean the best Christmas ever, what a gift sobriety would be. Your son's emotional re-birth may be an amazing thing. Provided he ain't to far from you, many treatment centers have family weeks and I would presume that if they have that then they will try to do that around the holidays. Get involved. Talk to his counselor.

I don't know a lot about them but have had a few friends that stayed in them. They are basically structured houses that promote resposibility. Typically when someone goes into one they have very little freedom. As they continue to follow the rules they get more freedom. Most of them have 'fine' structures for missed chores. Like if you don't do the dishes it's $5 the first time, then $10.... They are obviously made up of all people in recovery. So that is the focus of the house and you live there with a lot of recovery and support all around. On the harsh side, if you use, you leave. Typically there isn't a second chance. I've talked to older guys who've been ordered to go and their experience wasn't that good but I've talked to some younger ones who had a great experience. Made healthy friendships with people not using. Learned to live on their own. Many younger people where enabled by their parents and the 1/2 way house will definately not enable any poor behavior....
