Unfortunately, with him being so young he probably doesn't see it as a problem and if he hasn't been arrested yet, or something bad hasn't happened, then maybe that's what you need to LET happen. Pray he doesn't have something worse happen to him, but if his attitude is as you say, what's the point?

I work in a treatment center and I see parents bring their young adult children into treatment, and it is rarely a success when they are MADE TO GO, as soon as they get back out, they go right back to getting high, and they just went to get their parents off their backs.

That's the truth. I really wish you the best and at the same time, please think about attending an alanon meeting to get yourself and your family some support.
