In late Summer, we felt defeated. We felt we had run out of ways to help our son. Our 17, soon to be 18 year old son was on his way down an extremely dangerous path of drug addiction and self destruction. He failed his Junior year of highschool, and would disappear for days at a time. We were now running out of time and options with his birthday a few months away.We made the tough decision to send him to Outback. We did not realize it at the time, but we believe that decision saved our son's life. The Therapists and staff are the best out there. I remember when I was researching Outback, how apprehensive I was about my decision. I now know, it was probably the most important decision we have had to make in our son's life. 5 months later, he is sober, finishing highschool and thinking about his future.
