My sisters husband is badly addicted to crack/cocaine-this is destroying the family. She tried to help him get off pain medication and instead he transperred the addiction to cocaine. How can we get him into rehab?
Kruser,
your brother in-law AND your sister need help. Any addiction is devestating but crack cocaine will bring a person and his family to their knees fast! Contact a tratment center that specializes in addiction. Your sister's husband will most likely need detox and inpatient or residential treatment. A good treatment center will have a family program that will involve your sister as well because she (and the children if there are any) are seriously impacted by this disease. Al-Anon is a goood place to go for support for you and your sister... and it's free unless you want to contribute a buck or two from time to time.
Good luck!

I agree with Hope the family needs treatment
