Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Depression?
Question by Ali: Alcohol, drug abuse and depression?
I have a younger brother who is 21. He had gotten mixed up with drugs and is now living at home with my parents. It seems that he has substituted his drug use with alcohol abuse. He has gotten VERY violent with my mother and threatened her. Last night he tried to kill himself, but wound up shooting a hole in the wall. My mom is trying to find someone to help him and everyone is telling her that he has to check himself into rehab or therapy due to his age. We live in Colorado. Does anyone know someone we can call in Colorado who can help him. He is not in his right mind and will not allow himself to be checked in anywhere. We love him and want him to be ok and I am VERY worried about my mother as well. Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks.
