This is a brother who is in his 60's and probably involved in drugs also. And he is not financially capable of paying for rehab in a private pay facility even if he was willing to get treatment, which I'm sure he is not willing.

As far as I know, people can only be ordered into rehab by the court. This means your brother would have to be found guilty of a crime to be committed against his will.
Your situation sounds really difficult. You might want to try going to a support group or a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. Even though you're not the one with the substance abuse problem, AA can be a great resource for the friends and families of alcoholics. They can help you find affordable rehab options and give you strategies for dealing with your brother.
Good luck.

Your father might have the capacity to tension her into rehab yet that would not propose it would artwork. He might ought to sign papers to admit her and he might ought to circulate by her healthcare expert with a view to get that place of work work. There are no "regulation suits" to tension a guy or woman into rehab. the problem is that even nonetheless she is going by rehab she ought to nevertheless be addicted, rehab isn't a "magic pill" and it would not fairly restoration the problem if the guy addicted would not decide for the problem to be fastened. Your mom first of all has to renowned and admit to having an issue then SHE has to decide for to get help. If she would not doe the two a variety of rehab would be a waste of time and your father's money because of the fact it won't be able to artwork. the certainty that her short term reminiscence is shot isn't an illustration of alcoholism, it is an illustration of Alzheimer's and is a medical problem, no longer an habit problem. Rehab won't be able to repair that problem. Alzheimer's is a renowned disease and would no longer be cured or reversed, and one would not must be previous with a view to have the disease. Your mom first desires medical interest to ensure if her issues is led to by utilising the Alzhiemer's and no count if it could a minimum of be dealt with. feels like her kin fairly would not supply a rattling approximately her in the event that they have been unwilling to recongize that she better than probable has a medical problem and dont' care sufficient to seek for help for her different than to anticipate she has an habit problem.

In some states you can take a family member to court if they're a danger to themselves or others. Not sure which ones anymore because laws change faster than the average family changes the roll of toilet paper in the bathroom!

Treatment doens't work if the addict doens't want help.
The only way I think someone can be locked up into rehab is if they are considered a danger, and someone calls the police, or if they have committed a crime and it is part of their sentence.

No, you can't FORCE them unless it's court-ordered.
Additionally, it's generally only successful if the person WANTs to change their life.....
You might consider an intervention.
