Have you looked for Al-anon meetings for yourself? they are for families of alcoholics and addicts.Find A Meeting I completely understand where you are coming from. I am an alcoholic with 7 years sober and my 19 year old ran away and got into drugs and alcohol and then went to rehab and we are trying to repair the damage now. I know his rehab stint isnt good timing but if he is serious about getting help then this just might be his time. The good thing is if he does it the right way he will be able to help your parents, get a job and make financial amends. The bad news if he is just giving it a go and isnt sure he wants it then its a waste of his time. Do you have to be involved with him? Like I get the family counseling but what if he relapses. Do you need to deal with him if that happens? Is the wife getting treatment? Separated or not the spouse always needs to get treatment if they are also and addict.
