My experience is many years out of date, but going through your doctor or the coroner's office was the stronger method since they could do an emergency order to hold for evaluation. It used to be the Adolescent Chemical Dependency Unit at the BR General, but I think that is gone now. They likely have some facility. I would at least contact the coroner.

That guy is just being a dick.

it is pretty damn easy to get anything at that age. My pet theory is we made kids entirely too comfortable with prescription meds with adderall and what not at young age.
pharma drugs like xanax or oxy don't have the same stigma as doing heroin
xanax basically just makes you chill when taken without booze. With booze you black out. Act like an a-hole and then take a xanax the next day to wash away the hangover and any anxiety you may have about your actions when you were blacked out.
Both are addicting and easy to come by, at least xanax now. I assume oxy is much harder to get than it was 10 years ago when perdue was handing them out.
It is also really easy to hide from people. Small pill. you can take it and kinda function. Don't smell like weed, etc
i get that, Xanax was popular in hs in early 2000s but once you find out they are using...how the frick are you letting them leave the house unsupervised?
frick that, you lose the trust and its 100% lockdown if you want to be in my house.

How is he allowed to continue then, enabling? Are you playing any role in this without realizing it? There is a difference between being supportive of your son and allowing him to continue. One thing you and the wife can start doing is going to Al-anon to seek support, help, and guidance.

If you don’t know where he is getting money to feed the habit, then he is selling it too.

Do you know why your kid is depressed? Happy kids don’t really gravitate towards addiction.
Have you taken him to have him checked for any chemical imbalances yet?
I was sexually abused in the Catholic Church but couldn’t remember it until a couple years ago and dealt with addiction problems and thought I was a piece of shite and didn’t deserve to be happy until I remembered it and was able to report and tell my most of my family. Not saying that’s what’s going on, but you never know.
I had friends dealing with other issues lean harder into harder pills lose their lives because their parents didn’t ask or didn’t care or were too busy partying themselves.

Obviously, every addict has sold at some point to support their habit. But it goes beyond money with enabling.

Yeah, I’ve heard things about them too. I called though and they don’t take terns. They recommended teen challenge programs. We really want him to do YCP but that program is strictly voluntary. But my wife just set up an interview in Alexandria on July 10 with YCP for Camp Minden. He’s going to do that, or we’re going to have him committed to the first available bed. And that’s definitely not what we want. We want to save him and help him to have a great life.

Yeah, he’s been in therapy for two years now. He’s never experienced any trauma, other than some bullying at school. They diagnosed him with ADHD (like they do all kids) when he was 7. He’s done fine without medication for that, even though he likes getting it from the streets for fun. He’s been diagnosed with depression/anxiety, but with no cause. He’s taken different medications to treat that, but never any type of Benzo or any other type of stimulant

Don't listen to these folks about the Youth Challenge Programs. He will learn shite in there from kids far off than he'll probably ever be that'll end up making it all worse once he's out.

Find a psychotherapist to send him to. Lots of time a regular therapist will just say shite like go for a walk and get some sunshine. A psychotherapist can find out what’s eating at him. He isn’t depressed just because.

How about turning the dealer info over to the PD ?

Yeah, I’m sure we’ve contributed without knowing. But we don’t let him do what he wants. He has a small group of kids we’ll allow him to hang out with. But he’s been driving for almost a year now, so he might be meeting people while he’s “at the movies.” We track him on life 360 and tracked his phone usage, while he still had it. If we made a mistake, it was giving him a little cash here and there to go to surge or the movies

Completely gut his friend circle. Remove all access to social media. Take his phone. Don’t allow him access to you or your wife’s phone. Remove any access to any money.
That should start this very minute if it hasn’t started yet.

Send him to a military boot camp place or a military high school.

He doesn’t have a phone anymore. He had one until we started seeing unknown numbers on his call/text log. He lost it immediately once we went through his phone

How long does he have before he's 17? That opens options up a good bit. I'm not sure where you're located, but St. Christopher's in Baton Rouge accepts 17 and up. Been there about 10 years ago. It's a good program.
My other recommendation would be Palmetto in Rayville. I'm not sure what age they start intake at though. It's a 90 day one, plus.

We tried. It was a burner phone that they couldn’t trace
