I have an uncle who is addicted to cocaine, but has no desire so seek help. We have tried to help him, but he thinks his whole family hates him and is just out to get him. He has never been arrested for it, but if he did, how many times would he have to actually go to jail before the system sees fit to order him into rehab? Will they do it after the first offense? I don't think he sells, I just think he is buying it for himself.
He lives at my grandma's and has the blinders pulled over her eyes. She doesn't see the problem, but in two years he cannot get a job. He keeps lying and making up excuses about why he can't get work. He is sucking my grandma dry of all finances and she is even pawning everything she owns jUSt to give him money so he can "go find another job."
Please help!!! Has anyone ever been through this and how can we help him?????

No one in our family is able to pay for him to go into rehab, that is why I want to know how the courts can help us out.

Rehab is intense priced and not often paid for through the state, if he's using drugs, he might want to bypass to detention middle. The few that to into rehab fairly have the money to pay for it, and the legal professional to exercising consultation the deal. you want to trun him in, detention middle or no detention middle, he will finally end up going off the drugs and get sparkling. yet thepolice arrest and positioned him in detention middle, it isn't till the courtroom date that any order or the such. you in simple terms favor to teach him in, and enable him serve his time. keep in mind in case you do not, even as he wrecks his automobile and kills himself or possibly a small newborn, you presently carry component to the moral blame because you understand you should turn him in and do not

well for one i don't think the court will order it unless he is harming himself and others.. u have to prove that.. plus if he gets locked up on one or more occasions then the judge will order it... but if he gets locked up then u nor anyone in ur family should bail him out... let him learn his lesson in jail...

set him up and get him busted is a good place to start. go talk to your local probate judge and he/she will tell you what to do.....I had a very similar problem with my oldest daughter. Its a very bad spot to be in...good luck...if I can help in any way contact me at mfroeh@yahoo.com
