Question by kelly: Can I find a drug rehabilitation center in Miami, Florida?
My best friend Phoebe and I are planning to go to Miami. We’re not going there because of the beach. We’re going to Miami because she’s planning to enter an drug rehabilitation. I tried to convince her of getting help to overcome her problem with cocaine and she said she’ll do it if I come with her. We’re from Pasadena and she wants to receive treatment from some place far away from home. Her visit to the rehab will be our little secret. Please help us. We need your answers as soon as possible. Thanks.

Best answer:
Answer by zangmo315
you simply can’t make someone get help for this if they don’t think they have a problem, or if they know they have a problem & don’t want help.
you can be supportive, but that’s about it.
until he/she is ready any help (medical, rehab, psych etc) will simply be a waste of time & money.
my husband had a prescription & alcohol problem & it took him a few yrs to be able to admit that it was time to fix it. (he’s now sober 5+ yrs).
good luck
