Rehab was really good for my son and has saved his life so if you're feeling like there's no hope ..there is .My son 17 was in a bad way and over the previous year had 6 police/ ambulance /hospital admissions for drug & alcohol problems ...an 8 week stay as an inpatient when in drug induced psychosis ( no psychological input) put on medication...the constant worry was unreal ..I'm a single parent with 2 other children .His dad is a recovered addict .I'm a medical professional and had to take time off work to care for him and I wasn't in a fit state at times to work. Used up any savings I had ..just about managed to pay mortgage etc .Got really bad and he'd been held by members of the public whilst completely mentally unwell at a train station...and had to be resuscitated .
I could see the only solution as rehab...my family disagreed said I didn't have the money / nothing wrong I'd caused it etc .
I couldn't get a remortgage,loan I tried ..I started a go fund me page back rehab was 30,000 I panicked didn't know how to pay for it ..at the time my son was in hospital and they wanted to discharge but I kept saying I couldn't keep him save / protect my other 2 children .. I took it down I feel so awful I did it now .The rehab he went to( absolutely amazing so good ) took him on the understanding I would pay / have paid most ..what's people's opinions ? Has anyone been in the same situation?
