[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 725677, member: 1550"] Your son is a drug addict. Benzos are very serious drugs and the only way to detox from benzos is medical supervision. That is why your son is off the rails. Nothing you do will help him do better. He needs rehab. And to seriously want to quit. All countries are different. Most of us are from the U.S. and all I really know is what resources and rules are here. To me it seems there is less serious help for under 18 year old addicts in other countries so many are really struggling as young adults. You may want to find out the options your son has and present them to him. He sounds too dangerous for you to bring home. I personally would not give him money for hotels. I would make him use government shelters. If he is uncomfortable enough, maybe he will finally want help. You may want to limit how often you read his texts. Usually they are drama filled, abusive and written to cause you guilt. It's not like he will call to talk nicely. I am sorry you are going through this. I hope things improve! [/QUOTE]
