How successful are drug treatments?

    • How successful are drug treatments?

      Hi! my son has been battling addiction for the past few months. He is only 15 years old. He hides his addiction from me. I realized that my son was a drug addict only when his class teacher told me. A few days back, I met her at a shopping mall. She told me that my son never pays attention in the class and he seems to be tired and sleepy throughout the day. She also said that she had found drugs in his bag two days back. I was shocked hearing that. I asked his friends about this and they said that he has been using the drugs for few months. They also said that they were afraid to tell me about this as they feared him. How can I help my son to get rid of this addiction? I discussed this with my husband and he suggested taking him for a drug treatment in Vancouver. We are planning to take him there. But I don't know how to convince him. How successful are drug treatments? How is it treated? Please share your insights!
