Adult son with no traits and alcohol/ drug issues

I have an Adult son that has no traits and abuses alcohol and drugs. He has medicaid and has gotten to where he can't keep a job because to put it concisely he is overly sensitive. We have put him thru 2 into addiction rehab and he is now living in a sober living house. I just found the walking on eggshells book and workbook and this has been very helpful. I had never heard of BPD before. He lives in the middle of nowhere. - 2.5 to 3 hours from dialectical therapy services. He needs counseling. If he doesn't get it I will just have to detach, let go. I don't know what else to do.  :)o any therapists do online or phone counseling. I will pay what I can.
