The best help is from trained professionals. Call the drug intervention hotline in your state, county or municipality--and they will give you the best advice. Usually this information can be found in the front few pages of your phone book. Good luck.

Wow, that's sad. I would see a doctor or something like that. This answer probably isn't helping you

Get him to rehab. Jail wont help him get off of crack.

Crack is one of the most evil drugs out there. He needs to be in a place under close supervision until the drugs are fully out of his system B4 he can even REMOTELY begin to think straight. Addicts are the most hard headed people on the planet. Through my 17 years of use of drugs and alcohol I have done some ungodly things. I am only lucky that I did not become addicted in the way that some people like your son have. How long has he been using, and how long has he been locked up?

God bless you Joan Meadows. God hears our prayers and cares for us. He will help your son get free from drugs and your son will appreciate your intervention. Try to find a support group to walk through this with you.

Yes, quite true. There are good programs to help family members to cope with these situations.

Without professional help, and a good mentor, he'll face death one way or another, eventually. I think that is certain based on his situation. At least with drug help, he's got a fighting chance. No guarantees (I'm sorry) but better odds.

I am so sorry to hear that about your son, but I must let you know that I have been sober from crack cocain for 5 months now. I was also arrested at the hands of my mother. I wish I could say that there is a quick-fix, but there isn't. It took MANY YEARS and I lost everything that I ever had going for me. I will be 27 next month and I have finally come to the realization that I want my life and family back. If there is anything that I know for sure, it is emotional pain and addiction. As of today, I am completely clean and sober from ALL drugs and alcohol and I definitely have personal experience. Although I wish I didn't, I know that my experiences will be able to help others overcome. I would love to answer ANY questions you might have. I have seen it and lived it all. I will specifically be praying for you and your son.

Great job being sober! It's hard but it's all worth it. God bless you! Good luck in all you do!

You are awesome. But mostly smart, for recognizing what was happening to you and being tough enough to face it. Most people don't get this until it's too late. Glad you kicked it.

My heart and prayers are with you! God bless you in this time of your life!

rehab. if that fails its jails institutions and death.

I too was hopelessly addicted to drugs and alcohol. The times that I had contact with law were not at all pretty. I went to many . . . many treatment facilities, NA/AA Meetings, counseling, and had sponsors. If someone told me "if you stand on your head for several hours a day, you will get clean . . . I would have tried it.

BUT one thing is clear to me now, I DID NOT REALLY WANT A SOBER LIFE! I was programmed to be fearful of being clean & sober! What a boring life style. No-one can force feed being clean and sobriety down your throat! My personal experience was an exceptional journey which led me to a place I NEVER thought I belonged. I found a Christian recovery path. I came to know the LORD. YES, of all people, ME! This remedy also cannot be force-fed.

My advice . . . DO NOT ENABLE HIM! You do care which puts you in a very vulnerable situation. And I will tell you, decisions you will have to make will hurt. You should see professionals to guide you through this journey. They will help YOU gain sanity and help HIM find sobriety. I will pray for you and your son!

I just wanted to congratulate you! I posted above and I just wanted to tell you that I also tried EVERYTHING and would have done ANYTHING to get and remain sober. I was definitely NOT ready and willing to do what it takes to achieve this. The ONLY reason I am sober from drugs and alcohol today is because of CHRIST JESUS. I don't mean to sound religious or pushy, but this is a fact! I attend the MOST EXCELLENT WAY and it is amazing! I still go so that I can stay grounded in what's important-complete sobriety! Although I had an addiction problem, I also have many other problems in my life and (MEW) helped me realize my purpose.

Go to a doctor, get the doctor's approval to go to Rehab, If you don't take him to Rehab withdraws can be lethal.

Definetly contact a prof and an prison advocate. If You didnt put Your Son in jail God Bless Him - He would still be out on the streets using or even worse He could have already overdosed... so try to remember You did do the right thing in turning Him in. Ive had personal experience with this myself and what was Your other choice? Letting Him continue killing Himself smoking crack, crime etc? You may find it helpful to join a community group with others going through the same thing because You are not alone. My absolute best wishes.

Im sorrry</3 Rehab. God Bless.

It is better if you admit him in a drug rehab center. This way, he can be monitored well and motivated that drug is really bad for his health and future. You can also call the NTN free on 888-367-2056 for nationwide PPO covered drug rehab, for more info visit http://www.cannabisquitter.com.
