Wow. You are dealing with a rough situation.
It sounds like you are being reasonable.
Are there inpatient detox/drug rehab places you could commit him to, or require him to be in in order to consider returning home?
What kind of school does he go to, and are there people there that could give you support around this?
Dealing with this in a boundary-setting and boundary-protecting manner makes sense. You are handling it reasonably, sanely. You aren't flying into a rage, or retaliating against him as a person. Like you said, trust requires building.
