Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

court ordered drug treatment

Hi,

My sister has a perscription drug addition and is in jail on forged check charges. It's been going on for 20 years.

The entire family, (son-mom-2 brothers and sister) have been trying to help for ever! I want to have my sister commited to drug rehab before she kill's herself.

Can't find help. Please help me!

Re: court ordered drug treatment

Since your sister is in the criminal justice system, I would think there would be court-ordered drug rehab as part of her sentence. Have you spoken to her parole/probation officer about this, or perhaps to someone in the prosecutor's office? That's your best opportunity to get her into drug rehab.
