From experience, your dog is having seperation anxiety problems. I've seen it many times and the closer freinds he is with the worse it is. Don't get mad at at dog for missing you.
 
A short stay at a vet or pet boarder that uses regular kennel cages won't hurt him a bit and is probably a bit healthier because he won't be geting wood shards and plaster etc. in his digestive system. He also won't be in close contact with other dogs so the chances of him getting parasites (mainly flee etc)or in fights are almost null. I'd prefer it over drugging my pet. 
 
From everything you said I think I can safely assume the dog is a close buddy to you, you give him all he needs for attention and survival and he sees you as the Alpha. That's all great and says a lot or you personaly too. Trust me, he'll be fine stayng at a regular boarding place and you shouldn't feel guilty that he spends a few days in a kennel
 
Used to raise Wiemer's and had one male at went berzerk when I took the female out hunting. He would tear his dog house up and sometimes get loose an try to find us. Had to resort to a kennel box when ever I left him alone. He didn't like it much but he was just fine as soon as she was bck in the kennel with him. 
 
No gamble to your post, just a little understanding of a dog's nature. Give it a try and he won't need drugs anymore. Just don't beat yourself up over him staying in a kennel for a few days.
 
One other thought, some of this might have been happening as he was growing into his adult teeth. That'll cause a dog to chew anything.
