Its very unfortunate my sister is addicted to drugs. I think her drugs of choice is herion, cocaine, alchohol, pain meds & possibly meth. We first want to gather our loved ones and do a family intervention that includes consequences. The problem is she doesnt have medical insurance to pay for rehab. We need to get her professional help as a final option. If she chooses not to get help then she will suffer the consequences. We just dont have the resources to provide that final option for her. If you've seen the TV show on A&E "Intervention", this is the direction on how we want to confront her issues. We dont want to contact A&E becuase we are concerned about the after affects it might have on her 3 kids years to come. We try to conceal the problem from the kids as much as she tries to sneak around pretending shes not using. We just dont know..........we are lost!! If there is any free help out there that someone may know of please let me know. Thank You!

"Most treatment is based primarily on counselling. Recent findings have shown that those with addiction often have chemical imbalances that make the recovery process more difficult. Often, these imbalances may be helped through improved diet, nutrition and changing to a healthy lifestyle."

Your county has a detox. Also a place where they can detox , while waiting to get into rehab. The detox facility has the forms for a free detox for those who qualify, which most there don't work or have medical---so this is the place to take her, they feed house and start the detox while she waits to get in rehab. Usually it is the court that influences a person to go because once the addict is in trouble, the judge really lessons jail time if they're at rehab and are doing the4 after rehab out facility and are attending aa and meeting probation.So don't protect her, give her a sandwich but let her get in trouble, cause thats where she'll face the road to wellness or jail. My kid has been twice, I hate meth.

Call your court house and see if you can get a judge to sign an order for rehab for her before you do the intervention. You don't need a lawyer for that, and if a judge will sign the papers, it will be up to the courts to pay the bill.
