I have a son who will be 20 years old next month. For the last 4 years he has been doing drugs (opiates mostly), drinking and a whole lot of pot. I have called the police on him on more than one occasion (he is a very violent drunk). My son has been 5150'ed 4 times. The last police involvement was over a year and a half ago. About 2 years ago I had my son go live with his dad because I have another son at home who has some mental health issues that I was also dealing with. I was also concerned with my younger son's safety. The only treatment my son has ever had is an out-patient program through Kaiser (which I attended with him) when he was 17. My son has refused any form of in-patient treatment (or at this point any treatment at all). He will not even admit he has a problem. I believe his drug use started around the time he stopped taking his Adderall. He is ADHD and has been on medication in the past for depression. He recently told me that he takes drugs to stop all the nonsense...
