I am trying to figure out how to get my 27 year old drug addicted son to move out. He started staying here in February supposedly to get on his feet. There were a couple rules which he didnt follow: No drugs, get a job, get counseling or some sort of treatment, and start saving for his own place. 4 months later and he has gotten high, lost a part time job, has not gotten counseling. He refuses to leave even though I gave him his stimulus check. How can I legally get him out? I live in Ohio. He has gotten scary high several times. I am done. I cannot afford a lawyer.

Go to the self help section in your courthouse, and get eviction papers to file.
You don't need an attorney.

Plenty of people who are not drug addicts can't get jobs right now. Unemployment is over 20%. That's an unfair requirement at this time.

Getting drug rehab is one that is fair.

She can’t make him if he won’t go.

I'll compose a thoughtful answer if the poster returns to this thread.

There is this service called the police. Give them a call. They can be reached at 911 or a local number.

What drugs are we talking about?

Time to detach with love, mom. The sheriff can help with the eviction.

You know we're in a middle of a pandemic right? I highly doubt therapists are open. Mom is asking for too much right now. Call the cops, see if they can do something, but remember, we're in the middle of a pandemic.

In the beginning stages lots of stores were hiring. Amazon may still be. Even if it weren't a pandemic, the outcome would unlikely be different. Didn't the OP say he was back on drugs? He is 27. You have done all you could and more. Change the locks. When they are serious about making changes they will and then you can see about helping again.


We have dealt with a similar situation. It was very hard. Our son was basically homeless for quite some time. Bad choices finally caught up to them. Basically scared straight and has been doing quite a bit better.


cd :O)
