Stepparent with ADHD adult kid

Hi my stepson who is 19yrs and has not regularly been taking his meds for the past few weeks. It has been very difficult to navigate life with him for the past 6 years or so. His lying has increased profusively and his need to be center of attention has not decreased as I thought it might, the older he got. He was recently asked to leave our home due to his increasingly desire to lie, lack of motivation other than you tubing, watching tv, playing games, etc. He works full time but I doubt he is in the right environment for guidance and direction from his coworkers. Any advice is welcomed. Thank you.
