How do you approach a family member that has a drug problem?
Its my brother. He is 21 and started using drugs when he was 13/14 years. He has been in and out of jail many times. Last year he was in a bootcamp for 6 months and I was surprised at the change but since he has gotten out, he has been abusing drugs (cocaine, weed & alcohol) more and more. I don't want to see him dead but he won't listen. Thank you for your responses.

i really wish i knew... i know how you feel, my brother is 10 yrs older then me and he has been using drugs i think sense he was 13... hes been in jail so many times and he recently got out in June. hes 34 no home no kids and because Ive chosen to distance myself from him i couldn't tell you a lot about him... if i was you i would fight tooth and nail to take your brother back from the drugs. i watch the show intervention on a&e alot to try to give me a idea on how i can get my brother back, i miss him so much and i want him in my daughter life... drugs has made my brother steal from my parents and once he told them i stole something when really he done it. i love to listen to him play the guitar and sing, and he was so good at math he could have been so many things... Fight for your brother...
