A member asked:
What's the doctor's recommendation to help my drug addicted brother?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Desire to help: That is a tough problem. First - recognize that you can not change him nor make him change. I would explain your concern & let him know that you desire to support him. Would he allow you to drive him to a narcotics anonymous meeting or to attend if it was an "open" meeting? Would he be willing to see an addiction medicine specialist". Look in nar - anon for yourself. Take care.
