What Legal Way Can I Get Someone to Go to Rehab Without Them Signing a Consent?
Question by Bianka: what legal way can i get someone to go to rehab without them signing a consent?
I want to get my mom into some kind of rehab for her drug use. I live in CC Tx. I need somewhere that they can come and get her because she doesn’t think anything is wrong (of course). I am tired of it and don’t want to continue seeing her like this. I am 17 so i still can’t move out but i want her to get help so that when i leave for my university i can know my little sister will be safe.
