Our son has been in outpatient rehab for about 6 weeks and we know his attendance has been dwindling. I talked to his case worker from my office this afternoon and she told me that he was "stuck" in that he had only old (drug using) friends to spend time with but he refused to go to AA or NA meetings where he might find like minded young adults his age.
This evening my husband and I drove home from work and pulled up to three police cars in front of our house. Our son had been drinking and taking Xanax and was weaving wildly. A concerned neighbor (we don't know who) called the police because she had seen him driving like this before. Our son (and two of his friends) were all found with open alcohol containers (14%) plus prescription drugs in small baggies (i.e. no bottles that would identify anyone of them as the legal users.)
We don't know what to do. We have reached a point where we have tried everything we know (even throwing him out for several months.)
We just wished he had something that interested him, but maybe this is a sign of the times.... I don't know.

I am adding this question. What have others experienced when letting their son/daughter spend time in jail?
