Question by compact1987: If someone in your home wont go to rehab willingly Ccould the police remove them from the home?
One of my parents has been in & out of rehab programs but refuses to finish them. The family has stood by this person but patience is wearing thin. I’m starting to think that there might be no hope. But this person is hurting the family with their addiction & I think they need to leave. I’m afraid it will turn violent. This person has hit my dog, who could be next. I wanted to know if the police could take this person away from the house with a court order or something.

If you aare a minor, they should definitely remove them from the home. But, I don’t think police can MAKE them leave unless your sober parent agrees to it.
Also, if you’re under 18, it could be considered child endangerment for your sober parent to let the other stay.
