Is There PA Law That Allows Parents to Force Their Minor Child (15) Into Drug Rehab?
Question by Cassie: Is there PA law that allows parents to force their minor child (15) into drug rehab?
Its actually for my child. I called a few treatment centers and they said they won’t take her. I find it appalling a parent wouldn’t have this right over their child!

If your parents have custody of you, then yes, they can require you to go to drug rehab, or military school, or boarding school, as long as the facility is itself legal and licensed.
ETA: The facilities you’re contacting may not want to take anyone, minor or not, who has to be forced into rehab. It’s not a question of law but the choice of the facility about who they treat.
