I have personal experience with both helping myself and helping friends and family with drug addiction. As we all know, people will not change until they are ready for change, but until then we must support them. In the case of young adults or teens I would recommend closely monitoring behavior and providing random drug tests. Using the fear of random drug tests is at least a starting point and while there maybe some trust lost, you will at least be able to begin slowing weening your loved one off drugs.
