I understand how heartbreaking this must be for you. In some cases, involuntary rehab is possible through legal interventions, like court orders or specific state laws. You can find more information on this here https://unitedrecoveryproject.com/rehab-blog/can-you-force-someone-into-rehab/ . However, even if it’s legally possible, it’s essential to consider whether forced rehab will truly be effective. Some people respond well to treatment only when they are personally ready. Family support, professional intervention, and therapy can be key in helping them reach that point. If legal action is necessary, speaking with an addiction specialist or attorney might be the best first step. Finding a way to motivate your brother to accept help voluntarily could also be more beneficial in the long run.
That's a tough situation. I know some states have laws allowing involuntary commitment, but it really depends on where you live. Maybe consulting a professional could help?
