Referring the family for therapy can help them to communicate effectively and address underlying issues leading to the son's drug use. It can also provide the parent with support and guidance on how to intervene effectively. Reporting the son to law enforcement authorities may not be appropriate without considering the potential consequences for the son and the family. Educating the parent about the stages of family development may not address the specific concerns related to the son's drug use. Referring the son for substance abuse treatment may be necessary, but it would not specifically address the parent's concern about their relationship and communication with their son.
