Dear MarkDara, I too have a son who has struggled with drugs and currently is in a detox and then inpatient (3rd time). I learned through this last 6 months that no matter WHAT I do, the addict will do what the addict will do. I have given money, food and clothing more times than I remember. Just know they do provide clothing and essentials to the patients at inpatient. I would let him adjust and try to minimize contact for a short while so you are not triggered. Keep posting and if you are able, go to some Alanon or Naranon meetings. They help .
