Just wanted to comment on the vivitrol as my husband used it for a few months. He had very good results with it. (He used the monthly injection). I believe it is suggested the use of this drug be accompanied with therapy.. at least that's what we were told & what my husband did (rehab and continued therapy- now has almost 2.5 years). Based on everything you shared about the ADD and depression I would say a full mental evaluation is in order, and therapy for some of these issues would also be beneficial. Unfortunately a lot of people try to self medicate because the mental health issues are not diagnosed/under control then a whole new problem is created. Your son is still young so now is the best time for treatment. Best of luck.
