Answer by cathy_white27
You can call your local Police station (not 911). They can give you advice.

Baker Acting only works if the person is acting out and being a harm to themselves or others. They usually only stay for 3 days and can sign themselves out – no drug rehab is done.

What he needs is to get signed into a drug rehab program like Stewart Marchman or ACT. Check on-line to see which facilities are closest to your home. Some Hospitals also have programs set up.

Unfortunately, in most cases the person has to want to help themselves.
His parents need some counseling to help them realize how he is destroying his life and the lives of the people that love him. Tough love is not easy to do, but it may save your brothers life.
You are wonderful for caring so much about him. Good luck to all of you.
