"Can people legally be forced into attending a treatment centre?"
Yes, they can.
In my case it was the next step, but fortunately I overcame my blatant stupidity and I realized (reluctantly
) I was killing myself.
I'm not sure about the laws where you live, but if people (like me) here are too stupid to help themselves they are often forced to get help, as if they were ********.
No offense... I was there, I'm referring to ME.
