until they are ready to acknowledge they have a problem and need help, there is nothing you can do. You can grab your family and confront them, and maybe they will be willing to see that people are concerned and will get some help.
Yes, speak to the doctor and tell him/her of your concern. You need not let the family member know you have spoken with their doctor.
Sounds like you’ve got to go for a second opinion — visit a different doctor.
You can do one or both of the following:
(1) Call his or her doctor’s office and say you don’t want information on one of their patients, but that you wish to “give” information on a patient, so that the doctor is aware. Then tell them what the loved one is doing.
(2) You may get online support with Nar-Anon:

I hope this helps.
And may God bless you in your endeavor.
I know what your going through. My brother and mom were addicted to alot of things from heroin to Vikiden. They didn’t stop doing those things until they hit rock bottom. For my brother it took him being single, homeless and jobless. The whole family basically cut him off except for me and my mom. We encouraged him to go to rehab. He went and kept doing those things. Then hhe went again. They won’t quit unless they want to or unless things get so bad that things cant get better without them quitting. If they do not help try talking tothem about it. I know that this can be hard. But tell them that you are really worried. Or prehaps talk to the doctor about it. I don’t know how old you are but it would probably be benefitial for you to take yourself out of the situation. Best of luck!
Hope I helped 🙂
