There are many things in the world that no one wants to think about until has become a realy. Some of those things might be something like having cancer, dealing with the early death of a loved one, or facing the need to send someone you love to drug rehab. The problem with the last one is that you know the resulting actions are of the persons own doing, at least in the beginning. Its hard to look someone in the face and tell them that they need help, and that you think rehab is the only answer for them.
Some will do drugs for their entire lives, but unless is interfering with their lives, there really isnt much you can do most of the time. You may not even know what is going on. Other times though, people are pressured into trying something just once and that leads to a dependency like no other. They had a choice, and they made the wrong one, but some drugs will grab a person and will not let go. Their only hope of really getting away is to go through drug rehab, and to hope that only takes one time. Usually though, might take a few trips through a treatment facily to get the results to stick.
What can be scary about some of the harder drugs is that only takes one time for to take over a life. The hold they have on some people can not be explained. When you watch someone going through , you know you cant understand , but you also know you will do anything to make stop. The problem is that this person is in an altered state of mind, and the mere mention of drug rehab will make them defensive, and make them pull away. You cant let that stop you though, as might be the only hope they have.
When you are trying to get someone into drug rehab, they have to agree to go, unless certain things happen. When crime is involved, the authories can make mandatory. Many on heavy drugs do things they would never dream of doing while sober, and that means someone else has got to step in. Some can be talked into drug rehab, but many cant. The only other time someone may be forced is when they threaten their own lives or the lives of others. Even then, has to be said or done in front of authories, which can be hard. Eher way, if you love someone with a problem, do all you can to get them into drug rehab. You may be saving his or her life.
