Time for some tough love. When the teenager leaves the house without permission, he should come back to find an empty room with a mattress. I mean EMPTY. There should be NOTHING in his room except the mattress. When he listens and complies, you might allow him a light bulb.
This may surprise your recalcitrant son. In time, he may decide to rejoin the human race.
Most parents today were pampered as children. Get a book on tough love. The sixteen year old is headed for prison or death by overdose. He will never become a functional and responsible adult following the situation YOU have allowed to occur.

OP, don't keep us hanging!
Lot of cash bets hinging on the outcome.
