hello user , i understand your concern . solvent abuse is on raise among young ones and there are generally "no tablets" to cure it - you have to look into the cause , that why he had been abusing that - was that provided by friends(if yes, keep him away from such company) , any feeling of loneliness or sadness - ( enquire reason behind it - give him more time , keep the supervision on , but do not punish or criticise him , engage him in some extracurricular activities like sports and give proper incentives on achievement in that), - you can take professional help from psychiatrist/psychologist for detailed practical tips on management of the issue , especially if he is having some behavioral problems too like frequent disobedience, truancy from school, bullying other children , stealing money etc . hope i answered your query - if satisfied please rate the answer - any followup queries are welcome
It is good that you're keeping an eye on your son. What further needs to be done is to find out what made him take to drugs and do the needful to make sure that he does not succumb to drugs ever again. Relapse prevention counseling helps with this. You can consult a psychiatrist for this purpose.
Best wishes.
