5. My son is addicted to Crack. It takes 6 hours to get booked but 6 months to get into rehab.

If you can get into a rehab program. There is something very wrong with this.

Private rehab starts...starts at 10K. That is way beyond my reach.

It is such a shame that the only way for addicts to get help is for them to get arrested first.

I feel your pain and frustration with her. It is a struggle.

On Edit: I just realized that is the first time in 10 years i have ever told anyone other than my immediate family about the struggles with my son. Addiction is so painful.
