How old is he?


You do realize he will not quit until he wants to, no matter how old he is, right? But rehab is a good option. He may decide in there to change his ways and he is at least off the street. CPS could perhaps offer residential treatment.


Is he doing anything dangerous? Illegal? If he is still underage this could prompt CPS to help. However, CPS can be unpredictable and you can't guess what they will ultimately do. If he is doing illegal stuff or dangerous stuff, you can call the police too and maybe get treatment that way...then, again, he could be taken to juvy. We called the police on our daughter a few times and she got probation twice, but nothing else. She wasn't offered services and would not have complied willingly and was not ready to quit. This was all while she was under eighteen.


Do you have other kids who he is endangering?
