I Need an Affordable Inpatient Drug Rehab Place for My Brother. Does Anyone Know What I Should Do?

Question by dogstar1: I need an affordable inpatient Drug Rehab place for my brother. Does anyone know what I should do?
I have spent countless hours on the internet and phone talking to counselors. The only thing I got out of it is that he can go to a local outpatient rehab for free(which he has been forced to do and it doesn’t work) or an inpatient rehab for thousands of dollars a month. We don’t have that kind of money. I don’t know what to do. He is tearing our family apart and making our lives hell. He has got so many people after him that I am afraid something bad is going to happen to him. He is not in his right mind as he is drugged up so much right now. He has been to jail once and immediately got beat up. I am afraid if he is in there again he will get it worse this time. I don’t know where to turn for help anymore and I don’t know what to do to help him. If something happens to him I will always wonder if I could have done more to help him.

Answer by starlight_940
Drug addiction is a chronic, progressive disorder. It is characterized by cycles of abuse, decreased use, relapse and more abuse. For an addicted parent, the day revolves around the
need to procure and use the drug of choice, and then to recover from its affects. Important activities — familial, social, occupational — are given up or reduced because of the substance abuse. For these parents, the responsibility to protect and sustain their children is less important than the parent’s need for the euphoria produced by the drug.
