They can get him treatment and you did your part. It's going be up to him to stay clean and sober but at least you can show love for him in support to stop ****ing himself up. It shouldn't be tollerated. Call hot lines to get help

Here's the rub. You don't need help. He does. You want him to be helped. He does not. You can't fix this problem. He has to fix it. Drug addicts don't want help until they hit rock bottom. The only thing you can do to "help" is push him towards rock bottom. That includes doing things that will be uncomfortable for you, him, your family, and your relationship:
1. You could notify authorities. 2. You could swipe his stash. Tough to get high when you don't have the goods. 3. You could tell your family. 4. You could call 911 and tell them he OD'ed. You're going to be forced to do something that sucks or do nothing at all and wait for him to destroy his life even more or perhaps even kill somebody or himself. I don't envy you this position but it's probably not your fault and unless you have big brass ones, there's nothing you can do about it. |

Damn. That's a tough situation. He definitely needs to get support from his family.
It's one thing if he's just high. You let him come down, (move him to a bed, put him on his side). But, like others mentioned, if you think that he has overdosed, you have no choice but to get help immediately! Try to keep as calm as possible. Last edited by Lumpy; 02-19-2013 at 01:39 AM.. |

He won't have to go to jail but he needs help regardless. What he is doing to his body is far worse than jail. He can regain dignity in time it takes time so a short time getting put in a safe place is a good idea and help keep your mind at ease too.

Exactly this. You have to love him enough to do something that will make him hate you in the short term. Best of luck.

I don't know if I would tell the family anything untill he gets a few days clean and sober. Family can make things worse not that they mean too but because it's harder on them to deal with. They need to know but not right away imo. Get professional help first then let them counsel you and the family how to best help your brother.
