[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 261020, member: 1550"] If he has noplace to go it's because he doesn't like his options. He's not ready to give up drugs so he won't go to a rehab. I'm reading a really good book about a rehab and the doctor who runs it. The patients are all varied, but the bottom line is nobody can make any of them detox and most don't. Some do and turn their lives around, but it's a brutal process that is very painful and requires a doctor's help, not yours. He will never detox as an outpatient or at home--he has done drugs for too long and is too addicted. I doubt he cares where he sleeps. He just wants his drugs. There is nothing you can do other than destroy your own life trying to help him. Why would a judge even listen to you? He's a MAN now, and nobody but you will think of him as a "poor, misguided kid." The older he gets, the less sympathy he'll get, although I suspect he isn't getting much now. NOBODY can go on this journey with him. It's something an addict has to do alone. And it takes uber-motivation. What is the point of talking to anyone about anyplace? At his age, he will never be forced to stay, and he will just walk out. You know that. Stay strong. You have a life outside of this son. [/QUOTE]
