[quote=Anonymous][u][quote=Anonymous]Many are not a fan of this, but I'd require weekly drug testing. [/u] Have a set day (not random) and let him know--in advance!--what the consequence is if he fails--no car use for a month or whatever. I'd do this in as neutral a way as possible, and make sure he knows that refusal to take a test is the same as a failed test and gets the same consequence. Then follow through. Order the eleven drug test off the internet--much cheaper than CVS. Obviously, if he tests positive for opiates or the like, you will have to re-assess your strategy. I do agree that it would be a good idea to try to get at the root of what is causing the problem, but this is going to take time and patience. In the meantime you have younger kids at home you need to protect from the drug use. Drug testing can be a very effective deterrent.[/quote][/quote]
