I Need an Affordable Inpatient Drug Rehab Place for My Brother. Does Anyone Know What I Should Do?
Question by dogstar1: I need an affordable inpatient Drug Rehab place for my brother. Does anyone know what I should do?
I have spent countless hours on the internet and phone talking to counselors. The only thing I got out of it is that he can go to a local outpatient rehab for free(which he has been forced to do and it doesn’t work) or an inpatient rehab for thousands of dollars a month. We don’t have that kind of money. I don’t know what to do. He is tearing our family apart and making our lives hell. He has got so many people after him that I am afraid something bad is going to happen to him. He is not in his right mind as he is drugged up so much right now. He has been to jail once and immediately got beat up. I am afraid if he is in there again he will get it worse this time. I don’t know where to turn for help anymore and I don’t know what to do to help him. If something happens to him I will always wonder if I could have done more to help him.

As a former junkie myself, I can tell you he won’t accept help from anyone until he is ready. That usually means he has to hit bottom, and get to a point where his drug use is no longer worth it to him. Some people have very low ‘bottom’s’ though, I know I did, and it takes longer for them to realize it.
There are no cheap rehab centers. The one I tried to get myself into charged about $ 1000 a day, and it was the only one around here. Yeah right. So I had to get into tons of legal trouble, lose my car and house, half my family, before I had to get clean by myself.
A real important thing is to not let anyone give a hand to your brother. No one can lend him cash, give him the car, drive him anywhere, whatever he could do to get drugs. It’s just allowing things to go on as they are when you do that. I know it’s hard, but the best thing you can do is tell him you are there for him when he needs to talk, but offer nothing else. Tell him you won’t stand by and watch him die. If he’s that far gone, he just needs to come around on his own.
Good luck to you and your family.
