A member asked:
My sister is addicted to drugs. she keeps trying to get better. been to treatment numerous times and attends therapy every week. what do you do for patients that dont want to use drugs but keep using. its painful to see her cry and get frustrated?

With the information in your question, your sister should see a qualified behavioral health physician for counseling, as the fear/apprehension of the withdrawal to chronic drug use may be preventing her from accepting therapy. Unless she is committed to the therapy, there is no alternative to her continuing on a dangerous path.
