My son relapsed; worse than ever...advice please

My soon-to-be 30 year old son was sober for 2 1/2 years. Relapsed. Went to detox and then 30-day rehab. Discharged two weeks ago an has been drinking on and off since. I travel for work and while I was gone my husband called 911because our son was so intoxicated and refused to go to rehab. I'm at a loss. This weekend was fine. We talked and he was going to re-enter rehab again. My husband just came home from work and our son is drunk yet again. He took him to the ER and he walked out. My son also suffers from depression. I'm lost. My husband is lost and most certainly our son is lost.

I anticipate that some may suggest we drop him off at a homeless shelter but I'm not sure what that does. It feels as if my son wants to die.

Thank you in advance for sharing your wisdom.
