Any advice? Resources?

I was reminded of the reason that initially got me to SW. I was searching for info on what to do to get my son off drugs. And an SW post came up from someone sharing on a drug issue.
My son’s 19 and doesn’t accept that he needs help. I want him to go to therapy and I have gone to 3 therapists but haven’t found real help for myself or him. I contacted his doctor, no help.
I’ve searched online again and again and can’t find what to do.
Does anyone have any advice?
I was hoping he’ll stop on his own but it’s not happening. Have any of you experienced success in drug issues yourself or relative or friend?
Do you have any advice that would be helpful?
Thank you.

There are plenty of online sources available. You need to find help for yourself before you can figure out how to help your son. Some of these links might help guide you in the right direction:
