I am a grandfather and understand some what the crisis you are in, I have a brother in law that took that same path and it has not been a good path. The value of friends to these teens can not be measured. He like your son lost his church ties and friendships and the drug element filled the void. I also am a webmaster for a group of regional boarding schools that get teens off drugs and back into life. See www.careforteens.com or www.achieveteenhelp.com these schools are an excellent value comparatively speaking, and they have some of the highest success ratios in the nation with a 99% parent satisfaction rating. Your son whether he is experimenting or using-addicted, is on very dangerous ground. The potency of some of those drugs change the thought patterns to the point that, at very least, they need about one to two years isolation just to get over the physiological and psychological pull of the drugs. My brother in law did not go to treatment (It would have proved to be the cheapest option). (because he was over 18 and denied services,) His father finally had to get a restraining order to keep him from ever visiting the home. There is nothing of financial value left in the home (jewelry, silverware, guns, bonds, paintings). He has stolen most of it, or it was sold for his legal defense(s). He skipped bail twice because he was high at court time costing the folks a $47,000 mortgage on a paid for home. Now in their mid70s, on a fixed retirement income, my folks-in-law are still trying to help, but he is living on the streets(,) stealing what he can for his habits. Our outlook is not good knowing he will die of one of the many health problems of addicts. There is more to this story (his 2 kids from out of wedlock). It has cost the folks over $100,000 over the past 10 years to try and help him. I hope your story has a better outcome. If you can afford the above mentioned services, I personally recommend them.
