Hello again Julia. I'm excited for you at the prospect of your son coming home but I feel for you too. I'm guessing it will take a few weeks to sort out what the new routine will be, where you'll have to take your son and how often you'll have to take him there. I don't know much about agoraphobia so I'm not sure what to suggest that might be helpful but I'm certain there is a discussion area at psychcentral devoted to the topic.

I hear your concern about potential drug use too. It will probably be good for your son to reconnect with his old friends again because it can contribute to his recovery -- naturally, it will probably cause some worry to you that he will use pot again. Perhaps it will be reassuring to consider that he has some very good incentives for not smoking pot anymore -- he probably doesn't want to end up back in the hospital again.

My son is agreeing about his sickness and wants
to take measures to recover...

That's especially reassuring to hear. There's some excellent articles in the Resources area of this discussion -- perhaps you could share those with him. Naturally, you are welcome to share my blogs with him too if you feel it would be appropriate.

Best of luck to both of you, and please do let us know how it's going.
