Caller: Mother of 21 year old son
Problem: Heavy cocaine use
Seeking: Private holistic drug rehab treatment
Reason(s): Single child of two parents snorting 3.5 ounces of powder cocaine on a daily basis. He receives allowance while attending college for business management. Parents notice change in behavior and grades and found that allowance is being spent on cocaine and other illegal drugs. Son admits to using powder cocaine, but also has tried rock cocaine and other substances. He would like to be helped, but is reluctant to go due to the stigma of being labeled an “addict”. Parents are researching alternative methods of treatment for their son which include holistic programs such as meditation and yoga. He has agreed to attend a treatment facility in California if parents visit frequently.
