How Can You MAKE Someone Go to Rehab for Drug Use?

Question by Lauren Kim: How can you MAKE someone go to rehab for drug use?
My brother who is 22 has a severe problem with drug abuse. I cannot tolerate it any longer and as a family, my parents and I have decided to put him in rehab. Can we MAKE him to go rehab, even though he doesn’t want to? How? What is the process? Thank you for any help!

I am pretty sure that you can’t make him since he is an adult. You would have to contact the rehab center, and see the policy.

rehab is self referral and even if you could make him go ( which probably only coursts can do) unless he wants to go it will probably not work.. he needs to decide for himself.
