My Nephew Is an Drug Addict and Is in Jail for Stealing Money From His Mother and Making Threats to the Family?

Question by Gaby: My nephew is an drug addict and is in jail for stealing money from his mother and making threats to the family?
He has been in and out of jail for stealing or being aggressive … He is 21 and now it has been almost 3 weeks in jail… I love him very much we both a nice relationship but I guess because of traumas of seeing his parents get divorce than his mother getting married again just broke him … He is in NY … I came up with the idea of going to see him all the family and telling him that we will take him out of jail unless he goes straight to rehab something like that show INTERVENTION … I don’t know how to start how to do it. Do I call a rehab center and ask for someone to come with us and have my nephew leave with that person … Will rehab centers do that??? I am just thinking and planning based on a tv show … I just feel so bad I need to try and help him .

not sure but good luck. that’s very loving of you. do realize that the kids expect love from their own mom and dad, along with their family. so talk to his mom and see if she can get involved or stay in touch with him to motivate and make him clean.
