Hi all I am new and could use some advice. I am really having a hard time with my 19 year old son's drug use. He has been using on and off for the past 3 years and has overdosed twice, 3 years ago. Lately things have gotten worse. He has been in treatment in the past and has admitted that he needs help again now. But doesn't follow through with it. Over the past two weeks he is disappearing for days and just breezes in the house like nothing is wrong. Last week he came in clearly high and lied to my face that he isn't. I don't want to throw him out but I can't go on like this anymore. I don't sleep, I cry and feel like I can't breath! My fear for his personal safety is overwhelming because of the overdoses in the past. I would like to force some type of treatment but he is an adult and he has to make the call. I have gotten him the numbers to call but he doesn't make the first step. He also informed me Thursday that he is withdrawing from college and will lose his insurance coverage.
