My Brother Needs Substance Abuse Treatment/help?

Question by Rani C: My brother needs substance abuse treatment/help?
My brother has been using crystal math for the past 7 1/2 years from my knowledge. How do we help him get help. And some kind of program that will make him stay not volunteer but make him stay to complete the program. I live in San Jose, California. He needs help or hes going to end up dead. Please any advice will help. We’ve called the police many times but they don’t do anything because he doesn’t harm anyone but himself.

Best answer:

Answer by crecentroll
You could petition the court the force him to stay in a treatment center. I don’t know for sure if you can do this as I don’t have much knowledge here but I feel I herd that somewhere. Once clean though he needs to attend a recovery program, for life. Because when you are clean the addiction and temptation is still there and having a support group really helps, like Celebrate Recovery or NA
