There are a whole lot of other things to take into consideration. First, who is going to pay for it? Does this person have health insurance and will their policy cover rehabilitation? If they do not have insurance, are you willing to pay for the rehabilitation. Many people don't get into rehab because they cannot afford health insurance or Rehab. Most places do not have financial assistance programs for Rehabilitation, but the government is working on this task.
What type of Rehab does this person need? Have they been to any psychologist or other mental health professional? Has this person been a danger to others? Does this person feel they need help? Are there any young minor children to be concerned of?
I know these are a lot of questions. I would encourage you to think about the answers and contact a local rehabilitation center to see how to go about this process. They may ask a lot of these types of questions. Each state and rehabilitation center have different types of programs available.

It kind of depends on the situation. You can get a medical power of attorney if you are close to someone (kin or married) and they're posing a serious danger to themselves and have them admitted to a rehab center. It just depends on the situation. My husband did this to me when I was anorexic. But it's pretty hard to do. As a general rule, though, people have to admt themselves because they WANT to change. Good lucK!

Most of the rehabs are the type where it must be at patients will and then they have a dr. examine them and the doctor sees fit whether they should leave or go. If they are really bad you must go to your court solicitors office and have them declared legally unfit to take care of themselves. Then the court forces them to go.

that depends GREATLY on the circumstances AND the laws in your state...certainly THEY can put themselves in, but in most cases for someone to go involuntarily, they must be a danger to themselves or others...this can get ugly quick...be carefull

You can do an intervention with them...but if the person isn't willing to change themselves, odds are, they won't

Yes, you can. Especially if you fear they are in danger or someone else may be.
