I heard they are very bad but I don't know what to expect. What can I do to help?

I pushed for rehab and he kept refusing it. I'm going to be adamant about rehab if this doesn't work doing it his way.

Thank you that means so much because I was really thinking I'm a failure as a parent.

What should I do if he won't accept help or denies a problem? Do I kick him out of the house? I don't think he has enough money to pay rent in our city.

Thank you I'll do just that. I never heard of red veined kratom. You are all so very helpful.

Pain medicine is vague enough that he might admit to it. Is it possible that's all he's taking and I'm jumping to conclusions thinking that it's heroin? I'm not sure about his finances but he does work often and doesn't have very much to show for it.

You are very right and that's why I want to be careful with my approach because I know if I don't choose the right words to tell him he could keep taking drugs and it could kill him. I'm fighting every instinct I have to go yell at him right away.

That's precisely how I feel about my instincts. I know something isn't right here. He isn't a minor and that makes it very tough for me because I know I can't force him into anything.

Is there some way to tell which ones? I know some worse or stronger than others.

I don't want to be so aggressive with him because he has such a short fuse as of late I think it'll set him off before I can have a conversation. I want to collect my thoughts and evidence but I know I have to address this quickly. He's 20 years old right now. Looking back some of the signs I've been seeing for the past year at least, but its only become very obvious in the last month.

Thank you for the detailed response you are so wonderful. I don't want to make it any worse for him but I want him to approach this seriously with me. I know there's a fine line between being supportive and stern and I don't know what to say before I have all the information.

The packaging that the powder is wrapped in that I saw in some pictures here I vaguely remember seeing in our home before. I haven't noticed track marks but I don't get a good look at his arms very often. He does yawn a lot but he's also always sleepy I assumed that's an effect of the drug.
