[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 612370, member: 1967"] Hi Shei and welcome to our little corner of the CD board. Your son does have someplace to go . . . rehab . . . and that is where he needs to go. You are not doing him any favors living in your house where he can use drugs with impunity. I know how hard it is to do to give them an ultimatum but it is your only choice right now. My difficult child moved in and out for years and just spiraled down until she ultimately overdosed on heroin on our living room couch. Luckily, my husband came home in the nick of time and was able to do chest compressions which kept her alive until the EMT's were able to get there. Our state has a 30 day eviction notice required for anyone that has established residency (even non rent paying adults). Our difficult child knew about the law and refused to leave. We ended up hiring an interventionist who worked with us to get our daughter into treatment. Our difficult child still refused to go to a residential treatment center even after the intervention so the interventionist suggested that we go to family court and get a temporary protection order against difficult child. When the deputies showed up at our house to escort her out, she realized she didn't have any options and did go to the treatment center in another state that was highly recommended by her DBT therapist and the interventionist. I'm sure that others will come along with their stories and suggestions and advice. We truly understand what you are going through because we have lived it. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
