[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 215386, member: 1550"] I wish I had an easy answer for you. My daughter became an unrecognizable teen drug addict, and it shocked me...she had been such a sweet kid. I can't offer you suggestions, because nothing worked on her, but I can offer you hope. My daughter, at age 19, happened to see track marks on her friends arms, up and down. She suddenly had a lightbulb moment, "This could be me. I won't let it be me." She totally changed her life. And this monster teen is 24 and doing so well. We are best friends. I thought she'd end up in jail or dead. It is sort of up to him at his age, but you don't have to enable his behavior. By 18, if he is not in drug rehab, I would make him leave (we did this). And at some point in time he himself may decide to turn it around. In the meantime, an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) may be best for your safety and to give him one last chance to get off the drugs. I'll bet you'll see a whole other kid if he's no longer using. ((((Hugs)))) and so much good vibes and good luck. [/QUOTE]
