[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 674038, member: 18958"] Has your son showed any sign of mental illness? Often with substance dependence there will be co occurring diagnoses, that either preceded the drug use or arose as a consequence. I ask because if he is diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, it might expand the benefits and resources that can be brought to bear. Many people on this forum would hesitate to recommend that you get an apartment for him.There are all kinds of programs, sober living houses, etc. that provide free or low-cost treatment and supported living, including treatment. Maybe in these next 2 weeks you can find out what might be available in your part of the country. Perhaps an internet search would bring up resources, or you might go to your Counties Drug Treatment Office, typically associated with the Department of Mental Health. Maybe other parents in Alanon or in NAMI might be aware of resources. You are doing phenomenally, I think. At least a whole lot better than I did. Keep posting. COPA [/QUOTE]
