I need ideas on how to talk my sister (who is on parole) and get her to go to a rehab center. The problem is I cant talk to her face to face she lives in texas she is 24 and i live in az im 23. Any thoughts...oh if it helps, she went to prision for being engaged in a organized crime (making credit cards, checks and fake money) Oh and I dont want to scare her into it or say if you dont do it i will .......

Sweetie, if going to prison did not straighten her up the first time, I hate to say this to you but, it is doubtful anything that you say or do is going to make her go to rehab. The only way rehab will be successful is for her to hit rock bottom and then she is the one who is going to have to want to go, or it will be in vain. I know you don't want to hear any of this, but I just don't see how you are going to help her. She knows the risks she is taking by doing the drugs in the first place since she is on probation, not to mention what it will do to her health. The only advice I can give to you is that she is going to have to have some tough love, pleading and begging with someone on meth does not work. The only thing she is going to listen to is that monkey on her back tell her that it is time for another hit. I know, I have been there and done that. It has to be her that wants it before she will ever stop. You did not say if she was on drugs when she went to prison. If she gets addicted, and it sounds as she is, there is good odds that she may return to her knowledge of making the fake money to support her habit. The only thing you can do is pray she does not kill herself. Good luck, Sweetie, you are going to need it as far as she is concerned. I am so sorry that you have to go through this. In a way, this is going to be harder on you than on her. There are support groups everywhere for loved ones of a person that is on meth. I strongly reccommend that you attend one of these meetings; it will help.

You cant make her change.
She might not be able to make her change.
She may never change.
If you cant come to terms with those ideas then you cant even begin to talk to her.
She has a group of friends that mean a thousand times more to her than you do. You cant play the "family" card because it doesnt exist anymore and the only one who doesnt know it is you.
Thats the position you are starting from.

Well if you are that worried about her and want her to get help... make the trip to Texas and show her that you love her and you will be there to support her through her tough road ahead..... No one will change or get treatment unless they are ready of course so be ready for rejection...... but some people will seek treatment and help once they see that someone they love is there for them and they do not have to travel that road alone..... Good Luck an I wish you the best......

Tell her that you that you love her, and care about her, but she just has to stop and get her life into check, try to meet up with her and talk face to face, or webcam. Then talk to her about rehab. If she wont listen there really isnt anything else u can do

do you talk to her? maybe start with telling her how much you care about her. Addicts won't change unless they want to as it is something that takes a lot of effort. What about your parents? maybe they or someone else has more influence could convince her. You could always try to get her on that show "Intervention"
