I knew a friend and her older brother was a Crack Addict. We're talking as much as he could spend as often as he could get it. Her brother wasn't aware she knew this. He smoked it everyday in a tree house along with a couple friends. Now he's finally starting to develop some respiratory conditions.

When a Drug Intervention For Addicts Fails, there's a big chance things will start going downhill even faster, because their secret is out of the bag and their ego just took a big blow. I'd suggest not letting him be if the Intervention goes south. He might hate you for it now, and he might even hate you for it years down the road, but that's statistically not the case. Keep trying until he understands that he has no choice but to stop using drugs or face much larger, potentially life-long consequences.

You have to understand that as his sister it is your responsibility to try to save him. And don't think for a minute with his current lifestyle he'll be able to save himself. In almost all cases it never happens. You have to exercise extra patience with him. Please understand that you may be his only hope. Tough Love is not the easiest thing to exercise these days, but sometimes it is necessary.

I know Drug Addicts who succesfully quit, only to be ridiculed by their old friends, so it will be a struggle for a while for him. He'll have to develop new habits, get new friends that have a more positive outlook on life, and learn a trade and prepare for a career. Very few people can do that on drugs. So make no mistake about it, his life could very well be in your hands.

Drug Intervention For Addicts works and when it doesn't, you have nothing at all to be ashamed about. You tried to save the life of a loved one and no one could ask more of you than that. In the end, if he digs his own grave he may have to lie in it. But make sure you are there to speak with him when he does come around.
