Dorton I really think that you are doing the right thing. He needs to deal with his illness or his illness will deal with him. In rehab the best thing that he could really do is embrace it.
I will say a prayer for him because right now I think that's all anyone can do. He needs to want this and it needs to hurt enough for him. Maybe now just isn't his time but I really hope that it is.
On a positive note my close friend in the fellowship had been in several treatment centres and was determined to drink herself to death. She celebrated one years continuous sobriety on Thursday of this week. There are no hopeless cases I really do believe that. She was told it was treatment centre or death and she said she didn't think she had any choice but to die. Just like something changed in her I hope that something changes in your son.
God Bless - your son is so lucky to have you and he's lucky that you still care xxx
