[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 697484, member: 20051"] I agree with Albie. Generally if you "force" them into treatment it doesn't work. They, generally, have to come to the decision themselves. That being said, I think, sometimes, for our own piece of mind we need to feel like we did everything we could possibly do. Technically, yes, you can force her into treatment, right now. There was a woman in my group who did just that. She packed a bag for her daughter, put it in the trunk, told her daughter they were going somewhere else, and dropped her off at rehab. She ended up putting out a lot of money, and invested a lot of time in the program, and the minute the daughter turned 18 she ran off with a boy she met in rehab. So, you know, there is a slim chance that something may sink in, but it's not typical. I think Al-anon will be helpful to you. I also think it may be the time to start telling her that if she doesn't get help she will have to move out on the day she turns 18. Sorry that you are dealing with this at such a young age [/QUOTE]
