Question by Mike T: How to legally force a family member into drug rehab?
I have a family member addicted to crack cocaine, we know she is a danger to herself and to others, she refuses to voluntarily get treatment, how can the family force her into a drug detox and rehab program? Is there some sort of motion that can be filed with the court?
I can I am planning on calling some attorneys tomorrow, just want some background info if you have experience or know anything about how to help out a drug addict who doesn’t want help but needs it

The only way is if a judge will court order treatment. Good Luck!

Light in the Word Ministry’s mission is to positively help the lives of people with drug or alcohol addiction, people who are coming out of prison, and the homeless people of Jacksonville, Florida. We believe that the person who has taken the wrong path can make a turn and follow a road of spiritual growth, honest work, and continuing education. To achieve these goals that person must meet both short and long term objectives. Some of the short term objectives is to help our clients in obtaining food, clothing, a place to live, and transportation. We will also help them clean up their outward appearance to improve their self esteem. Long term objectives include teaching planning strategies and maintaining achievable goals. We know that if the gospel of Jesus Christ is preach and teached we can help change the world. One person at a time. We know that the Holy Bible is the word of God and we trust that fact. We thank God for allowing us to see a day we have never seen before, Today! We are proud CPR Members and look forward to walking through the many doors God will open.

I am just a casual drinker. However, every time I go home late, even if I’ve only drunk a small amount of tequila, my dad would already recite what seem to be an endless litany of sermons. As I am browsing the net today, I just want to ponder on the things my dad always says. His words motivate me to post this question.

I am ready to leave home, still complains that he is in much pain and I fear if he takes much more he will kill himself soon?

Okay, I know what you are all going to say… “break up with him!” But I really want an alternate route of action…. So, My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 1 year. When we first got together he had 2 part time jobs that he had been at for about a year prior. He also had a slight drug abuse problem that I wasn’t fully aware of. I was also addicted to drugs in the past (over 5 years ago) so I understand the issues and work that goes along with getting clean, so we started working on it.

One job did lay offs about 4 months into our relationship and he was one of the few to get the boot(he had already started getting off drugs and was doing everything to the best of his power so I let it go)

So now we are down to 1 part time job… that he ended up loosing as well about 2 1/2 months ago.

The problem: We live together and I pay ALL the bills!
AND, Did I mention I have two 4 year old children??

I love my boyfriend sooo much, and my kids love him even more…They adore him. He is great with them and they would rather play with him over me most of the time. He helps me get through all the stressful mommy moments and is helping me teach my kids disipline(they were outa control before him)

Today he is clean, but unemployed, and living off me. The only hope I have left of getting any financial help out of him is the unemployment check that is due to arrive shortly (it took him 2 months to even apply!)

On top of all this, he has drug classes is is supposed to be completing. He wont fuc*n** go! I know I am constantly asking him to do things (like help me get the kids ready for school, we just moved, etc) because I am beyond stressed out, but he should still be able to find time to do it. he is already on strike 2 and the judge told him he needs to be attending meetings before his next court date(last one was 2 weeks ago). He still hasn’t attended one!

When he first got laid off he put in a few apps but never followed up. Now he takes 2-3 naps a day while I’m at work and my house is a mess (its both of our mess but im at work all day and he’s home sleeping).

we are BROKE, and im stressing on how im gonna feed my family at this point. Im turning into a ***** too. constantly nagging and I hate it. Im even counting beers. Im sad to admit but today I counted corndogs that I bought 2 days ago and he has already eaten 10! along with other stuff…..

I dont want to break up with him, or I wouldn’t have posted this.
What I’m looking for are any ideas on how to help him motivate and become a productive MAN.

He was on meth for 7 years, we used to use together.I know he’s a good person, but he hasn’t lived in the real world for a long time. How do you rehabilitate someone into reality? Make them pride themselves and want to succeed. He’s not the smartest cookie and is having trouble getting emloyed because of his criminal background. I am trying to be patient and I want to help guide him.

Any Ideas?? Please Help me!!!

The photos in this video are actual Sea Org members. The photos were shot in Clearwater Florida by Tilman Hausherr and Grady Ward. This video was made by myself and a friend. Tilman was kind enough to give my friend written permission to use his and Grady’s photos in this video. We thank them kindly. The people in this video, were setting up a Christmas display. Their faces are very telling. They look exhausted, unhealhty, beaten down, malnourished and SAD. They have faces filled with desperation. Please read the explanation of the photos at the bottom of this side bar to better understand the captions and question marks on the photos and the use of other photos in this video. Some of the members in these photos were on “RPF”. The RPF for those of you who don’t know, is Scientology’s Rehabilitation Project Force in their Sea Organization. The RPF is a punishment given to any Sea Org members including children and the elderly for the smallest of reasons. It can be something as little as talking back to someone, or looking at them the wrong way. Members stay on this punishment for years and years at a time. While on RPF, you are forced to endure brutal physcial labor, a cut in the already pitiful wages, no communication with fellow Sea Org members or Sea Org family members,humiliation,constant interrogations and sleep deprivation. Sea Org members not on RPF are also subjected to much of the same but not as severe plus coerced abortions,unfair labor practices,poor diets …

She is legally married and is afraid for her husband taking the kids away from her, hiding them and never seeing them again, he has made this threat already.Can the aunt of the kids take them until she gets out,without the fathers consent? What does the aunt need to make this happen?The mother is seeking help in rehab.

I am a Wiccan and my mother has a problem with alcohol but won’t admit it. I wanted to know what spells were out there to help her overcome this and maybe even cure her.
