[QUOTE="KFld, post: 217926, member: 2442"] As the mother of a recovering heroin addict, I know how panicked you feel right now. My son insisted he was only smoking pot and I kept finding cut up pens in his room and straws. It turned out he was snorting heroin and by the time we were 100% sure he was totally addicted. Fortunatley for us he wanted help right from the start, though it did take quite a few rounds in rehab and one court ordered to a state rehab facility, but two years later he was clean and has remained clean now for two years. It is a long hard, emotionally exhausting battle, but it can be done. Your son is young, which in one way he has on his side, and the other is very tough. My sons biggest battle was staying away from all of his old friends and making new ones, which took a while, but he did it. He has a lovely girlfriend and all new friends with no assocation at all to his old ones. I know you mentioned something about court, and maybe it already happened, but if not, let the court know you suspect drug use and they will court ordered him to be tested as part of probation Good Luck!!! The people here are a huge support and I would not have gotten through it without them. [/QUOTE]
