[QUOTE="lionsingh, post: 157196, member: 13703"] The first thing to realise that addiction is an ILLNESS. I should know, I spent this September in rehab. Knowledge is one thing but WAS a Pharmacist until my problems. I am an alcoholic..always will be so I dont drink. Its a disease that will always be there. Some places to contact first of all [url]www.addaction.org.uk[/url] [url]www.direct.gov.uk/en/YoungPeople/.../DG_10030639[/url], [url]www.hazelden.org/web/public/alcohol_drug_rehab_youth.page[/url] [url]www.uk-rehab.com[/url] [url]www.nhs.uk/Livewell/addiction[/url] [url]www.swanswell[/url] I have to bear in mind that many many young people drink and experiment with dope and drugs etc...most grow out of it...but for some it becomes a never ending addiction. As an addiction, nothing else will matter to him apart from his drug of choice. If he can be persuaded to take a drug/alcohol test...It will show the extent and damage if any...have a word and his GP can arrange that. If he denies he is an addict..this is the chance for him to prove it. I share your concern and have worked with many addicts before as a Pharmacist. What is important is to get the facts. Moralising wont do much good to a teenage addict..its something they have to realise for themselves. As you mentioned you are from quite a devout family, so perhaps it is a case of several pints and occasional joint he feels is nothing ? according to him.... [B]If not then help is out there[/B]. Punishments wont work with an addict. [COLOR="Red"]If you can persuade him to have a confidential meeting and testing with a drug worker, they will show him the reality.[/COLOR] [B]Rewards and Sanctions do not matter to an addict unless he/she will get their drug of choice. [/B] A lot of addicts will take drugs to escape from reality. Addictive behaviour is also not only drugs but to other things. Does he steal ££ to satisfy his urge ? I wish you the best so DONT WASTE £££ on private councillors...there are many well trained professionals out there....Get him to agree to a blood and liver enzyme test.
