How Can ADHD And Oppositional Defiant Disorder Be Treated?

My son has all of the positive symptoms as well as some of the negative ones. He is in denial that there is anything wrong. He was diagnosed as having ADHD as a child and oppositional defiant disorder. As a college junior he announced that a sixteen years old neighbor had molested him at six years of age. I pay his rent and utilities. How can I get him into treatment. His senior year old college he left school after a bad episode but made a 3.8gpa that semester and published a paper in the journal of nursing as a psych major. Jo
