[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 61644, member: 3626"] His asking for medications to "focus" in school gives a real head's up to me. Many of the ADHD drugs are used by kids in middle and high school to get high, snorting be the most common method. And if my guess is correct that this really why he wants these medications, the odds are even higher he is using other drugs. If you haven't done so, get him drug tested first chance you can but don't give him any warning it will happen. Something tells me you have a lot more to worry about than ODD right now. I'm so sorry and I so hope I'm wrong. While he is with his grandparents, make some phone calls. Find out what your options are. That is, does social services have any suggestions, does the school. Call your county mental health agency and see what they have. Call the police and find out what you can do if he is using drugs or what can be done about an out-of-control teen. Get as mahy answers as you can. The more you know about what is available, the better chance you will have of fighting to get him some help. [/QUOTE]
