About a month ago we found out that my younger brother had been using drugs for about 5 months, and it had moved beyond basic or party drugs. He was using Cocaine, Meth, and Heroin. My mom took away his phone, Facebook account, and car, he went to outpatient rehab, but they felt he was better after just a few weeks, he had all those things back, and she somehow trusted him. Of course, he was trying to text for drugs, but she still let him have his stuff and found out the other day he'd picked up some guy from 30 minutes away and they were doing cocaine in the house.
I'm unfortunately a 28-hour drive away in WA and he's in Iowa. He's only 23 years old, but just doesn't really "get it". Some of this is from his Asperger's, some of it from personality quirks I don't fully understand. However, I laid into him on the phone the other day and he explained to me that the stimulant drugs help him think straight and feel like his mind is organized.
They've asked for my advice, but I don't think she's tough enough to enforce what really needs to happen herself, and she's now researching inpatient drug rehab centers. She sent me this Narconon place to research, and I found that it was run by Scientology, so I immediately told her to stay away.
There's probably a lot more that I could type, but I'm tired and don't feel like making a nice organized post, so I'll get to my 2 questions:
1) Do you have any advice on how I can help out from halfway across the country? I'm heading back home in November, but it's not real practical to go back very often for me.
2) Do you have any inpatient rehab recommendations? I'm trying to search online, but I thought you guys may have some for me as well.
Thanks!
