If she's under 18 you can get a court order for her because she is in possesion of drugs. Or for any other offense that I'm sure she's committed. Even if she's over 18, the court can order her to rehab or she can go to jail. I will tell you though, if she won't get help from you, she won't accept help from anyone else either.

How old is your sister? What is she smoking, cigarettes, pot or crack or what?
If it is drugs and she will not stay in the rehab then keep her at home with someone who is willing to help her over her addiction -if you have to lock her in a room with only a bed so that she cannot hurt herself or anyone else. Bring her plenty of juice, water, food but dont let her out. You might have to do this for a couple of weeks so that the drugs (if it is drugs) can leave her body. She will have withdrawals and throw up and get very angry but dont give in. In order for her body to detoxify itself this has to be done. If it is cigarettes throw them away - suggest that she get on the patch. Show her pictures of a person's lungs who smokes - it is disgusting (I used to smoke cigarettes but thank God I willingly gave it up, I did it for my kids and my health).

An addicted person will rarely accept help unless they decide they need help themselves. For drunks and heroin addicts, it sometimes means hitting rock bottom and even then it takes some kind of major epiphany to make them wise up. Plus, there is no single answer for everyone. Each has their own way to deal with it, if they choose to quit. She may have to lose everything, become very ill or have someone close die before she knows what she must do.

Even though you and your family are doing a great job trying to help your sister, you really need to take a step back and let her help herself. Before you try to help someone you have to let them help themselves. It's the only way they will see that they have a problem. Hope she gets better.

It has to be her idea, just love her and support her.
