Question by Gaby: My nephew is an drug addict and is in jail for stealing money from his mother and making threats to the family?
He has been in and out of jail for stealing or being aggressive … He is 21 and now it has been almost 3 weeks in jail… I love him very much we both a nice relationship but I guess because of traumas of seeing his parents get divorce than his mother getting married again just broke him … He is in NY … I came up with the idea of going to see him all the family and telling him that we will take him out of jail unless he goes straight to rehab something like that show INTERVENTION … I don’t know how to start how to do it. Do I call a rehab center and ask for someone to come with us and have my nephew leave with that person … Will rehab centers do that??? I am just thinking and planning based on a tv show … I just feel so bad I need to try and help him .

Best answer:

Answer by bmac
Addicts start using in their teens. It’s very rare that an adult starts using drugs only after becoming an adult. A lot of teens stop using when they are getting ready to hit college because they don’t want to get into trouble or have to be tested for a job and have a dirty urine, so they quit and they quit for good. The true addict, though…could care less and will do anything to find a way to continue using…even if it means the loss of a job, home, family and friends.
