[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 554404, member: 11235"] All you can do is approach him with the offer of rehab. He is probably in much deeper with drugs than you realize. If he doesn't accept going to rehab then I would tell him he has 10 days to get his stuff out of your house. If he doesn't come for it you will sell it or throw it away. Cut him off completely as far as money goes if he refuses help- that includes paying his cell phone bill, etc. I'm not sure what the probation officer could actually do, other than drug test him and arrest him when the results come back positive. This is going to be very difficult no matter what and I'm sorry you had to find this board. At this point he is an adult and you are pretty limited as far as what you can make him do, which is why in most of these cases the parents have to cut the adult child off. It sucks. Hang in there. I forgot to add that you [I]must[/I] follow through on what you say you will do. With these "kids" they push as far as they can and if you don't stick by what you say they will take complete advantage. [/QUOTE]
