No one has control over a drug addict, No matter how much they spend or how they are connected.
It might look like that and they might behave as if they do, and they might even believe it but no, they have no control. Not in the eyes of the rehab center, unless it is a very unusual one and not in reality. Rehab counselors may listen, but what family members have to say plays very little role in treatment, and rightfully so.
You'll get lots of great advice here so please stick around, read the sticky posts at the top of the forum, read others ES&H and keep posting.
Peace,
Hanna
