Hi Angie, I believe your son would have to ask for rehab for a judge to consider inpatient treatment. This is likely something your son could ask his attorney/public defender about. I was told in the past they won't grant these requests if the offender isn't asking themselves. if he is on probation they may work with him as well. I think the courts recognize what we want so desperately for our adult children may not be what they want for themselves. He very likely has options, just needs to be self-motivated. I totally understand where you are. I've been there way too often myself. I will say an extra layer for the two of you in hopes of your son asking for the help he needs.
