[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- if he is using opiates of any kind - this can't be kicked on his own. Unfortunately, rock bottom is probably much worse that you would think.  You can try talking to a drug counselor to get help on what you can do.   (from experience)[/quote]

I also thought prescription medication. OP, get him enrolled in a Suboxone treatment. It quells withdrawal symptoms and negates the high of opiates, should he try to take them while being treated.

I'd go away somewhere to remove him from the environment and allow the medication to sink in for a couple of weeks. What other life changes can you introduce? If it's kids at school who are providing the meds, could you change schools? What is he self-medicating for? Can you uncover that and replace the meds for something more positive? I've heard exercise is amazingly effective when coming off of opiates. I think Elton John supported Eminem when he found he had a serious issue with pain killers.

Only you know where to draw the line. I don't blame you for not providing more info/context. The specifics don't matter that much. If you've reached the point where you're considering this ultimatum, you have to look inside and see how far you are willing to go.

Good luck on finding your path.
