I understand your concerns whole heartedly and the suggestions above are good ones so will not reiterate them. We cannot help anyone until we help ourselves and it would be important for you to have support in trying to help him. Please talk to a professional, do not go it alone; you are not alone, there is help.
There are different types of programs, inpatient and outpatient day programs that could be viable options not just inpatient alone but could be very beneficial, and of course therapy and medication as you know as well. However, it is difficult in the the midst of things to see outside of our current situations when in the grip of it to know that there might actually be something better out there, let alone to be in a position to want that. This is where getting support will come in to help you in dealing with and coping with his mindset yet not enable him to continue doing what he is doing but still be supportive.
I wish all parents were as caring and supportive as you are and I wish you both the very best as you move forward. He is very lucky. Hang in there!
