How to Handle Someone Who’s Addicted to Prescription Drfugs?
Question by deedee: How to handle someone who’s addicted to prescription drfugs?
My oldest sister is highly addicted to prescription drugs. She nods off ANYWHERE for a loooong period of time. She has been addicted for (as long as we know) 3 years. She needs help bad! She has stolen large sums of money, behaved very erratically, nodded off while driving, and lately even been in legal trouble. My mom is fed up but wont take any action. If she was MY child, I would make her check into rehab or do her drugs on the street, but she would NOT have a home to come back to!!!! I’m the youngest sibling and the first who noticed her behavior. I brought it to everyone attention but wheres the action? I’m not a talker I like results and frankly, she disgust me!!! Shes not my sister shes someone else who I don’t care for. Can we make her go to rehab what can we do??

You can spend the rest of your life suffering because of her mistakes. I mean, if you are looking for a course of action that works 100%, I don’t know that there is one – but I do know that anything you might do that WOULD work, would definitely involve rehab.
It might be best to let her go to jail, and detox there – afterward the state will require her to go to outpatient rehab for the better part of a year, and if she doesn’t.. well, back to jail she goes.
Get her in jail.
