Be tough. Get an intervention specialist to help you, but be prepared for the fact that your sibling may pick the drugs over you until they are ready to quit. Love them, but set strong boundries about not being around them when they are high. Good luck.

First rule...don't enable them. Do not give them money or things that could be traded for drugs. This just feeds their addiction. Additionally, an intervention for those who are abusing drugs and are in great danger might be warranted. It involves confronting the problem with the help of a therapist or mediator. You can go to the hospital for intervention help. Additionally, you might want to start going to Nar-Anon or Al-Anon or even NA meetings to learn more about addiciton and how you can be supportive of the family member...but not their drug-abusing ways.

Tough situation with little hope. Hope for the best but expect the worst.
