How Can I Get My Boyfriend to Go to Rehab for Drug Abuse?

Question by Shana Hutchins: How can I get my boyfriend to go to rehab for drug abuse?
[rewrite]My boyfriend and I have been together a short time, 2 months. But have been close friends for about a year. I had no idea until I got into the relationship that he was still struggling with a drug problem, I just knew he had used in the past. But he started disappearing for hours, wouldn’t answer anyones calls, made up absurd excuses as to what happened. So I knew something was going on, but didn’t want to accuse since I didn’t know exactly what was going on. We have a great relationship and he treats me like gold but I don’t want to sit back and watch him ruin his life. He came to me a week ago and finally admitted to me what had been going on after he disappeared one night and told me he’s been doing cocaine. He told me that night he was snorting it, and I’m not sure if there’s other ways to do it since I have never used nor been exposed to drugs. He also told me he wanted help but I don’t know how I’m supposed to help him. After he told me this he used a week later again. The trust I had is completely broken and when he’s away I’m scared he is going to go use. I don’t know what to do. I would like for him to enter some type of professional rehab if he would be willing but don’t know how to approach the subject or if he would even be interested. I need some resources or any type of things we could do as a couple to help him through this and show him I’m here for support through it all. Any advice would be appreciated. I don’t want to leave him, and I would appreciate any negative comments kept to yourself. I need positive advice.

What to Do on Visit From Drug Rehab?

Question by Rusty Nail: What to do on visit from drug rehab?
[rewrite]My sister is 17 and has been in a court ordered drug rehab facility for the past 8 months.

She now gets 12 hours visits away from the facility, and on those visits my mother likes to have her go tanning, to the mall, get nails done, etc. I think that time should be spent going to colleges, the library … something like that so that when she is out she can do something with her life. My mom says this is her “reward” time and has elaborate plans for fun stuff.
