Hi,

What you need to understand is that IF your son is an addict, he has no choice once he puts the chemical into his body. He can't stop. My suggestion would be to send him to treatment. Not just any treatment center, but a good one. One of the best in the country is La Hacienda in Hunt, Texas. If anyone can straighten him out, they can. If they can't help him, they can refer you to someone who can. The disease of addiction is one of the mind, body and spirit. Once the mind starts obsessing on using and once the chemical enters the body, the addict can't make the decision to stop. Our problem, as addicts, is we have a malady that is spiritual in nature. I hope you find what you are looking for. Pick up a copy of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, it is stocked full of good information.
