Be fully transparent and provide full history of the drug abuse and rehab steps. Do not criticize prior doctors and do not engage in complaints about prior treatment failures. Listen attentively to your new doctor and seek advice about interventions.

Every doctor takes an oath to help and cure patients They don't judge or discriminate your past history. Tell your sister to be honest and willing to follow directions from the doctor.
