How Do Commit Someone for Alcohol and Drug Treatment?

Question by chocolate: How do commit someone for alcohol and drug treatment?
My mother is an alcoholic and drug user. She needs to be committed to a treatment center but she will not go. Last week she slit her wrists and went to the emergency room (50 stitches) but they let her go. I did not know until afterward that she had done this. How can I have her committed if she won’t go on her own? If she attemps suicide again, can I have her committed? Thanks.

How Will I Find Substance Abuse Treatment Centers in Crestline, California?

Question by cinthya s: How will I find substance abuse treatment centers in Crestline, California?
I have been having a hard time dealing with my son who is doing heroin. I raised him to be aware of the negative consequences that drugs can have on him, but I guess it was just no use. He chose to try it still. Now I’m trying to find treatment centers for him. Does anybody know of one?

Answer by Suzieq4855
Britney has a broken heart. Her husband cheated on her with a stripper. He may not be much but he was her husband and the father of her children and she loved him. She is in a lot of pain and unfortunately she has to go through this with everyone in the world watching. She will be okay. Just give her some time.

I’m glad that you’re there to help out your friend. It’s always tough to have to deal with drug addiction, and I’m sure your support and encouragement will really matter much. To find drug rehabs, you can use the links below. You can also ask your friend to consult a doctor. That way, the doctor will get to tell him what kind of treatment program will be good for him, as well as which drug rehabs can provide him with this kind of treatment. Good luck!
