[QUOTE="ksm, post: 749215, member: 12511"] Start making a list shelters, Sue kitchens, and agencies that he can reach out to. Have you ever considered an Oxford house for him? They charge a reasonable weekly rate and our self governed and its people who are in recovery and working to get better. I don't know if that's an option for him. They have to attend meetings, work, and do routine chores around the house. Job Corp may be an option, too. I think they go up to 25/26 years old. No fee involved, they provide room and board, and training for jobs. My daughter and I checked on it for our state and I thought it sounded great! Or course she didn't. They even got a monthly stipend of about $25 a month for personal hygiene items. Even though you feel he is not deep in to drugs or alcohol, he has not moved on to try to have a productive life. I think he needs some structure in his life and those two programs would help provide it. Maybe others will have other ideas. Maybe you could pay for several weeks at an Oxford house, then he would have to find a way to earn money to keep staying there. Ksm [/QUOTE]
