Help. How do I help my cousin off drug addiction?
Question by Francis Alves: Help. How do I help my cousin off drug addiction?
Last year he tried to kill himself during his addiction to cocaine and other narcotics. He smokes weed. He drinks too much. I dont know if hes tried crack or more. Anyways when he gets depressed he wants to kill himself. We sent him to a rehabilitation facility but that only seemed to work in the beggining. He spent like a a month in there and left the place looking like a new man. But this saturday his mother found him taking drugs again. He was staying by himself but due to his suicide attempt last year the family decided to have him move to his mothers place. Now on a personal note they had contacted me about a year ago to look for a good rehab facility in South Africa and I had to travel around 400 Km from Johannesburg to look for the perfect 1 called Healing Wings. Its in a nature reserve sort of a place and its secluded and really far from anything remotely urban. http://www.healingwings.co.za/ So being the perfect place to take him in he would learn to work together with the other people in the program and to build stuff and be far from all his addictions. The farm has a success rate of 90% which is really good. Now a month it would cost around 936 dollars. In rands around 7030. Its expensive but they have the money. They spend hundreds every month in games and electrical appliances. So I offered this to them and they decided to go with the cheaper alternative. So they got him into a much cheaper and less demanding rehab center and now all that has gone into crap. So Im a little hurt. Nevertheless Im still willing to help. So any tips or advice?
