How Can We Convince My Ex Boyfriend to Go to Treatment for His Drug Problems?

Question by L7962: How can we convince my ex boyfriend to go to treatment for his drug problems?
My now ex boyfriend has a seriously bad drug problem, he uses various different drugs and it has really starting taking a toll and the people who love and care about him. Two orders of protection have been placed on him because of his actions when he is using. When he isn’t on them he is amazing, a great person, but the drugs are ruining him. I know there is NOT anything anyone can do to make him go he is an adult and it is his choice, but he NEEDS to go badly. I fear the worst for his well being and for the safety of many people if he continues on the road he is on. And other than everyone stopping coming to his rescue I don’t know what else anyone can do for him. I wish he’d wake up and see there is so much more to life than the life he is living. He has so much to offer if he would stay sober long enough to see it….
I should add the police know, but they are not doing anything. We very recently broke up he has no other girlfriend. All he has are his “friends”, you know the people who support his habbit and do it with him. I want to help him as a friend and nothing more, I’ve had no other choice other than to push my other feelings aside. And if there is anyway for me to help him it has to be with out him knowing, or I’ll be in violation of the protection order I have on him.

you could just wait til you know he has drugs in his car then call in a DUI and let the system handle him, it would be like forced rehab

INTERVENTION> you get together with his family, and his new g/f if he has one, and all the ppl you know love him, you trap his arse in a room and you do n intervention.
