please help me , someone in my family is a drug addict?

I think your best bet is to hire an interventionist and stage an intervention. Once she sees how many people she is hurting through her drug and alcohol abuse, and once she sees how much support she has maybe she will realize that she wants to get better. There are many different programs offered at different rehabilitation centers that target an addicts specific needs. Research different rehab centers and find one that fits. There are different types of therapies for all kinds of people.

she is not going to stop if you make her, its one of those things where she has to decide on her own. my cousin was a acholic then she got a DUI she was sent to a rehab thing but continued to drink until one summer when we were at my other cousins house when she drank way to much sending her body into shock causeing a sezier and stuff. my family has a drinking problem so the 4 adults drunk too, and not willing to call 911 we finally and she got to the hosphospital was ok. long story short, when she saw how scared we were she stopped she has been sober ever since maybe will take a life threating thing threatening to change her or mabey you could call the intervention people

I hope I help!

The sad fact is that some people just aren't ready to quit. I don't think the real issue is trying to hurt her mom. I think she's really hurting herself because she feels guilty about her dad leaving. She's trying to blame her mother, but that's just an excuse to avoid dealing with the responsibility herself.

You can't make her want to get better. You can be supportive when she's trying. But the instant she starts drinking or doing drugs, just cut her loose. Make her learn that she will lose more than her short term pain if she keeps this up. I know it sounds harsh, but until they have consequences most addicts never really try to quit.

I don't know.

At all. I'm stuck in that situation.

Except + Felony.

My dad is a drug addict, around with the wrong people and has Felony on his record. He won't stop for anyone. His 'friends' threaten to hurt us when they need something from him. To top it off, he's divorced with my mom.

You really can't help them.

They need to WANT to stop.

When the addiction sets in, the only thing that could possibly keep them from stopping it is Motivation.

Without motivation what is there left?

You can't "make" her get help or get better. She has to decide this for herself. It sounds like she has a lot of unresolved issues. You can encourage her to go to rehab but it's up to her to decide whether or not she wants to stay clean. All you can really do is pray for her and let God take care of it.

i'm sorry you're going though this. there are many professional intervention services that can help your cousin recognize her problems. drug rehab programs are experienced in helping individuals. i hope that you get the help that you need. good luck!

Its hard to help someone that doesn't want help. I have found tough love works best. Write them off till they come to you.Don't be a helper by giving them money, time or affection.

Call Intervention on her...That works for a lot of addicts.
