Drug Rehab Help For My Sister
Posted: 11-01-06 07:21am

My sister is hooked on drugs for quite some time now. My entire family knows about this, but we didn’t do anything not until she started to suffer from terrible panic attacks and has drowned in bitter depression. Unless she straightens her act out, she might not be able to land a good job, especially now that she has a two-year-old daughter to look out for. I don’t know what to do. I am tempted to let her live with us (she’s in illinois, and i’m in new york), but I may not be able to fully support her and I also have a family of my own. So might as well send her to a rehab center instead. How much do rehab centers, especially in illinois, cost? I’ve found this partial list of rehab centers, but I don’t know which of them can be best for her. If you have other centers to suggest, please do let me know.

Hello juliesmith, feels great to know that you are desperate to get your sister out of this. Her quick recovery is important and more so because as you said that she has a baby daughter. You are moving quite on the right direction and yes, rehabilitation is the best way to come out of it. You can add on to your search about rehabilitation programs through this web site:

I want to credit you on trying to help your sisiter and her little baby. I hope that you know bringing her into your home is not always the best idea. You have a family to protect and opening your home to your sister is a good idea, but you are opening your home to possible things that your sister may bring with her. You need to protect your family first.

Putting her in a rehabilitation place would be the best idea. Maybe you could keep her daughter while she is there.

I wish you the best of luck.

Drug Rehab Centers - How do you know which one is legit?
Posted: 01-23-08 10:26am

I have actually looked around for drug rehab centers in the United States and let me tell you they have tons. I went to this site National Treatment Centers and was astonished. Every state has 100's of them. I also learned that the best way to get started on helping a loved one was through getting an intervention whether it is a family intervention or you have an interventionist come in.
