[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 721236, member: 1233"] Have him arrested every time you find drugs. It doesn't matter if he is disabled or not, he knows the law. He knows right from wrong. Then when he is in jail, get a restraining order saying he cannot return to your home. That pretty much fixes the legal side of things. The drugs he is bringing into your home make him a danger to you. He could bring danger to anyone in your home, either by his behavior while high or by attracting other users or those he owes money to. Generally this is recognized by the court and it is pretty easy to get a restraining order. Often you have to go this route or else the Dept of Human Services will not give services to him. They will say that you have it covered and are providing what he needs. Why should they give him their stretched to the breaking point resources if the family has him housed and fed and cared for? This truly is often the way DHS looks at it. So you have to make him have no place to go and then you have to make DHS give him some services. He may have to agree to stay off of drugs to get services though. This is up to him. He has the right to refuse services and be homeless. That may be hard for you. It is HIS choice. Not yours. You need to choose to be safe and have a peaceful drug free home. You have that right. I urge you to seek out support, either from the family support groups at NarcAnon or AlAnon or from a private therapist who is experienced with substance abuse issues. I am sorry that you have to do all of this. [/QUOTE]
