Content	I recommend Teen Challenge.....a marvelous program.....our son has been free of a 6-year drug addiction for one year now. The last few years, he was using herion. He tried methadone (horrific!), suboxone (another substitute). He also stole from us....that was the leverage we used to get him into TC. He was not happy about going, but God met him there head-on, and his life has changed. They have a very disciplined daily schedule, weekly counseling, chores, responsibility. studies. They go to church several times a week. I know people say until they want help, they can't get it.......well that is not totally true. TC has an 85% success rate, and many of the residents are court ordered there. So they know that if they leave, they will go straight to jail. That is far above the 20% or so success rate that your average rehab offers. Our son has a really good job now, is self-supportive, very involved with our family (we are a large, close family) again, in church every Sunday.....and as he says, he has a conscience again! We are VERY aware that this is a journey that we have just begun.......we have a ways to go.........we try to be wise and keep an eye on everything as best as we can. We go out of our way to see him several times a week, TXT him, email him, talk to him......just staying in the loop. Google Teen Challenge and find one near you!!!
