How Can You MAKE Someone Go to Rehab for Drug Use?
Question by Lauren Kim: How can you MAKE someone go to rehab for drug use?
My brother who is 22 has a severe problem with drug abuse. I cannot tolerate it any longer and as a family, my parents and I have decided to put him in rehab. Can we MAKE him to go rehab, even though he doesn’t want to? How? What is the process? Thank you for any help!

I am pretty sure that you can’t make him since he is an adult. You would have to contact the rehab center, and see the policy.

rehab is self referral and even if you could make him go ( which probably only coursts can do) unless he wants to go it will probably not work.. he needs to decide for himself.
Read or listen to what happened in this case before you do anything you’ll regret:
“Ira reports from Glynn County Georgia on Superior Court Judge Amanda Williams and how she runs the drug courts in Glynn, Camden and Wayne counties. We hear the story of Lindsey Dills, who forges two checks on her parents’ checking account when she’s 17, one for $ 40 and one for $ 60, and ends up in drug court for five and a half years, including 14 months behind bars, and then she serves another five years after that—six months of it in Arrendale State Prison, the other four and a half on probation.”

The best thing that rehabs do is get someone away from the people and places where they used for 30 days. It takes an average of 4.2 times in rehab before a person gets sick of it and stops. Rehabs have a slightly better success rate than AA, estimated to be about 5%.
