Looking back, 12 years ago, I remember the day my mom forced me into rehab, the worst day of my life turnied out to be the BEST day of my life ( I still thank her and apologize to her). Was I ready, no, but I was to young to think for my self and I WAS USING DRUGS!! I am sorry, but kids, are never ready to come clean!
What helped me, was the support my family and friends gave me. If he does not feel the love and support from the people around him- what is the point of coming clean??? Show him that there are better things to do- sports, hobbies, have him get a job, or help other kids. Have him volunteer at a homeless shelter, so he can see what drugs will do to some people! Be strong and never give up! Anger will only push him away!! LOVE AND SUPPORT!!!!
For every month he is clean, reward him, takehim to concerts, sport events, celebrate with him!!!
