Muunray...I so desperately wish there was another path to take to get help for those in our lives struggling with addiction. We've literally tried all the options we (the family not the abuser) have available to us to get help for our AF For the last 8 uears straight. So long as he does not want to be there, theres nothing we can do. The system is so F'ed up. The only course of action you can take would be to gain "guardianship" (thats the term in nj, ive heard it refereed to as a 51/50 in a few other states). Thats when a person is unable make decisions in their own best interest. This type of thing is typically for the elderly or deminisia (sry for the poor spelling). You will have to jump through so many hoops to gain this type of power over them and still have them sigh it themselves that its pretty much impossible.
Long and behold we finally got everything together to start the process for this in court and wouldnt you know hes been given 6 months to live..it will probably take longer to push it through court than he will live.
the current sysyem is so f ed up.
