I think my dad is using again.

For the past couple of years my dad has these "anxiety episodes" where he comes home from work and doesnt eat anything, and he has motor ticks? he like jerks his head and his body twitches and its scary. my dad was a long term meth user and quit about 12 years ago., he also was in a bad car accident 12 years ago and has partial nerve damage. when he has his "episodes" he locks himself with the bathroom and the water constantly running, he uses anything strong chemically scented and uses all of the product. bleach, perfumes, any fumey cleaner. and sometimes he goes into the garage. he nails the door closed and turns the air compressor on, and the lights. he stays in there for hours. i just saw him through the window, he was in the garage, and i could see more than just his head twitching, he was falling over into a hunched over position. and jerking his body around. he has lost a LOT of weight in the past 2 years and looks really skinny. what could this be

he acts very strange and weird. and speaks very softly, he cant control the movements. he uses alcohol and weed, he smokes a lot of weed daily, but his drinking is very under control.

what causes this behavior?
