If by boarding school you mean “prep” school - Just no. Don’t send him there. They have just as much access to drugs as anywhere else. If by boarding school you mean “rehab” - that’s what I would be looking into. I agree homeschooling is probably not a good idea, and I have experience with homeschooling, and wih a troubled teen, and with boarding school … and ADHD… sigh. Many of these were not good experiences. Some of the rehab schools will send someone out to “collect” him. There’s no force involved but I think it’s a situation where even a 6’2" kid would not say no.
