All my protecting him, going to drug testing , rehab centres, spying on him etc. etc. was a waste of time. If I could turn the clock back I would have had him charged with fraud a long time ago.

I think you may have answered your own question with the quote above.
We will never “hit our Bottom” if we are never allowed to hit it. In my case, many people enabled me to continue on with my drug use, although that is NOT what they thought they were doing.

I cant believe what manipulators they are.

I manipulated and lied to those who were only trying to help. I finally “Cleaned Up” when I had no one left to manipulate. Everyone I knew would no longer help me out of my messes. The only way out of the mess was to get clean.
This is my experience with hitting “Bottom”. So it is possible for us to help the addict continue to use or help the addict find their bottom by doing nothing.
I hope your son finds recovery.
