[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 530778, member: 3710"] Welcome to this community! You will find many people here who truly understand your problems, and will offer you support and advice. I agree with Kathy, that it will help your son if you can get him into a rehab program. You can call a behavioral health hospital in your area to find a place that offers a program for teen substance abuse. I'm sure that your son will not want to go to rehab, but he is not an adult yet and so you have the final say on any health decisions that concern him. It is vitally important to get help for him now, before he turns 18 and is considered an adult. It sounds like your son is very good at telling counselors what they want to hear from him. If he is accepted into a residential drug program the counselors will know when he is not being honest and they will confront him about that. Rehab might be the best way that he can get help for his problems before they become much worse. I hope that you can find some help for yourself also, because I know how stressful it is to have an addicted teen. Please take care of yourself, and keep posting here. HUGS... [/QUOTE]
