I have a 21 year old sister who is highly addicted to drugs and alcohol to the point that she no longer lives a normal life. She just exists for drugs and drinks. My family is torn about the situation and can not seem to find DECENT, low cost or free rehab programs? Believe me, I have called Crisis Hotlines and checked the internet. All of the free/low cost places also house ex cons, mental disorder patients and the homeless. I feel like I am helpless to provide her with any resources. She claims she wants help, but I don't know how to help her. To cope, I avoid her phone calls (she calls drunk and crying, which stresses me out). I am at my wit's end. Any advice or word's of encouragement?
