Your Son is a minor who is using, abusing and most likely addicted. You only have 'til he's 18 to have legal influence. My son is 23 yr. old addict. I didn't see it when he was your son's age...but he had a problem. Now that he's adult he refuses treatment. You have the power to force treatment if that is what you think your son needs. In My opinion, knowing what I know now, DO whatever you have to do to get between your son and drugs, while he is a minor. Do not be afraid. Addicts lie, deny, get angry and manipulate. The disease is progressive. I along with some other parents helped another mom pick her 16 yr.old son up at school and drove him to a rehab. He has been there 3 mos. in a yr. program. He is a changed person already.Do what your have to do.
