Can I have my son voluntarily locked up somewhere or be put in a padded room so he can see how bad it is?
He is addicted to Oxycontin and cannot be controlled.

A padded room because he cannot be controlled. He starts pacing and yells and sometimes assaults us. We'd like him to hit rock bottom somehow without the nasty consequences.
Answers:
yeah you can. go to your local probation department (in your local court house) and discuss your sons addiction. you can request he be put in juvenile hall for the weekend or so to "scare him" but that might turn in to him being put on probation. and then from probation could lead to drug court where they piss test weekly, and if he throws out a dirty or diluted sample they take him to juvenile hall for the weekend. but drug court is the best thing for some people, AA is a requirment and drug & alcohol counseling comes with it so it could be beneficial in the long run
