How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

I was just wondering about this since a friend of mine wants to suggest something to her parents so that they may be able to put their son in the right drug rehab. What are the factors to consider?

I’ve already convinced him that alcohol isn’t going to do him any good. He has now realized that it’s better if he undergoes treatment. Alcohol rehabilitation costs so much, and we can’t afford it. Does anybody have any suggestions about this?

Is alcoholism genetic? I’ve been asking that question to myself for months. I’m an alcoholic. I’ve already entered alcohol rehabs and received treatment but I still can’t get over it. I know alcoholism cannot be cured but I think I’m doing fine. I tried my best to stop myself from drinking and so far I’ve done a great job. I’m just worried about my son Ivan. He grew up in an environment where he sees his mother drinking alcohol everyday. He saw everything. He was there during the lowest point in my life and I loved him for not leaving me. I’m bothered by the fact that maybe he has inherited some sort of alcoholic genes. I don’t want him to end up like me. Oh, before I forget, his father is an alcoholic too.

a friend asks for advise on how to handle her 16 year son whom she believes is abusing alcohol

Would you allow your son to ‘have a drink’ now and then? I don’t see it as a big deal- considering you have told them the effects and drink responsibly. What do you think?

Just a minor concern. I’ve told him that I would never look at his bank statements. Although I don’t suspect him of being the type of kid that does this, I was just curious if it ended up happening would I get a call or something?

considering the dangers of each drug could u prefer ur son to drink alcohol or smoke marijuana. marijuana cant kill u in an overdose alcohol can.

how do i tell my brother in-law that his son has fetal alcohol syndrome. he acts like nothing is wrong but you can see his son dose have f.a.s.
i feel that he has it because i grew up with my little sister who has f.a.s. as well as when he came with my son and i to my son doctor. he had told me he might need to be checked out.

I know that I have a chemical balance which makes drinking alcohol inadvisable for me. I consider myself a recovered alcoholic. The worst times of my life were when I drank and my father was exactly the same. At what age should I explain to my son that he’s likely to have the same problem?

My son, Matt, has been drinking since he was 16 and I would like him to be sober again. He’s not talking to me about it because he would say that I am not always around. And he’s also failing in school. I don’t even know who his friends are. He needs help and I don’t know how I can help him if he keeps pushing me away. Please tell me how I can convince him to get alcohol rehab.

My son confessed on the phone last night that he’s having a problem regarding his alcohol consumption. He already wants to change, and I want to help him by at least telling him how he can find an alcohol rehab. I would really appreciate your suggestions.

My son is in a program called Vista Bay and I was wondering if anyone has any info on it. They are a very expensive program and I need to know if they are legit. Thank you!
