Read the book "DIRTY" you'll find a lot of answers and help with the problem. He has to want to get help to be sober.

I know this is going to sound awful to you but you may have to turn your back on him and shut him out of your life. If he's over the age of 18 then you letting him live at home or feeding him or anything else actually lets him stay an addict. If he has money at his disposal and doesn't have anything to spend it on like rent or food then he's going to buy drugs. If he's under 18 throw him in rehab in patient and keep him there untill 18. I know you can send him to a boys school untill the age of 18 if you can afford it.

I just read a book in which it says that people who tend to do drugs later on in life didn't receive much affection as kids. This was actually the third book I came across that says that. My brother was on drugs.... fact is that our Mom left us as kids to work overseas when he was only 7 months. We all reunited with our Mom when he was already 8 years old. So,... in our case that hypothesis seems to be true. How about in your son's case? Love him no matter what.... my brother committed suicide later on. We were so ignorant about drugs and depression then.

I know...easy for me to say....but you need to detach, with love. If you have done everything you can and he doesn't want help or to stop...then you have to say a prayer and let go. Find help for yourself, now. Ever thought of Al-Anon. Yes, started for families of Alcoholics, but they will be happy to have you. It's all the same--doesn't matter what the drug is....it's the damage they all cause. Everyone there is or has gone through the same pain you are and they can help you get through yours.

You cannot help him until he helps himself. You cannot force your will no matter what your intentions are. You need to develop your own coping skills, if need be seek a professional. If you do not have insurance call your local mental health professionals to see if you can qualify for aid. The hardest thing is letting go.

I use to work with teens on drugs 3years ago, the only way is Jesus Christ and prayer nothing will work unless they change on their own free will, most cases are bad because the boys don`t have a father figure.

You could find a local chapter of Narcotics Anonymous (Check with your local library of newspaper) and ask them.
