Look into looking up drug rehab clinics in or close to your area. Use the source sites specializing in your state. Check out free recommendations on how to intervene in the situation.
personal saftley is a big one, don't get into any fights. research rehab clinics asap. if this stuff is taken the right way, means a simple fall can cause a brain clot and BAM ur dead.
make him get help if you can afford to get him rehab treatment. it is a hard thing to get over in fact any addiction is. but if he refuses he can only help himself. it's hard. but try be there for him even if you can't help with his problem.
give him two choices.
go to jail or go to rehab.
unless if you want him dead.
& not an out-patient rehab.
it does nothing.
(personal experiences)
He must first want help with his addiction before any treatment will be successful. I have a cousin that had the same problem and he had to reach rock bottom before he really wanted help. He was arrested several times and court ordered to complete rehab treatment. But still was unsuccessful at losing his addiction. It was not until he wanted help did anything work. I feel sorry for you and your uncle. But nothing will help unless he wants it.
I live in St. Andrews Florida. And I know there is a rehab center near you, at the corner of Transmitter Rd. and Hwy 22. also your family can have him committed to Life Management. Where he will be subjected to psychological analysis. And will be helped with his problem. But like Misty said, he really needs to want help to be helped.
