Scared of drug abuse

[MummaL24]

Ok so I'm posting on behalf of my sister in law who has a teenager she's suspected he has been using drugs for a while and altho tried her self to tackle it has failed because he will just kick off

Originally we thought it was cocaine abuse altho she went through his bedroom and has since found a kitchen knife (dinner knife) and a spoon the top of the spoon is covered in white powder the bottom of it is black like it has been burnt. She's also found two boxes of barcarbinate soda sashes of it and the large baking pot of it. It is clear he don't bake cakes so no need to have this

We have googled and it does suggest crack cocaine before we broch this we need to be completely sure of what we are saying as neither of us have ever been in that world so the only info we have is what google points us too any suggestions?

It seems pretty clear he's dabbling in something.

How old is he?

Omg this is dreadful and so worrying. It sounds like crack.

My first thought is who is his dealer? Can you contact the school? Who are is friends?

Google your local drugs service

16 my first reaction was crack too.

We do not have any idea how to handle this and he needs help

Turning Point are a good start, this is a government organisation which helps addicts. Unfortunately, your sister will have to talk to him again and try and get him to face up to his addiction.
My son had a heroin addiction so I know how horrifying this situation is. There is help out there but very limited due to the sheer volume of people seeking addiction help/therapy. If he's able to face up to it and wants to seek help I would strongly advise a psychologist with addiction experience not a counsellor. There will likely be a reason for him turning to drugs which he probably won't want to discuss with a member of his family.

Crack cocaine plz get him help asap 1 time taking this and ure hooked it gives u a rush for 10mins it's expensive to buy and u normally end up on heroin I dragged my brother out a house n locked him in mine for a week x

Did that achually Work tho?

So we asked him and he confessed I think the evidence we had he had no way of deni it.

So what we was told

He tried it first time didn't work and doesn't think he got it right the second time he attempted it either.

So recons it was an experiment which didn't do anything because he failed to do it correctly.

I don't know weather to believe it or not.

He claims to not have a problem and explained he only tested it from boredom
