I want to start by saying that I'm sorry for your mom, and that I feel for you. You won't be attacked or judged on this board. We all went (are going) through something similar. Who knows what we're supposed to do? It is such a frustrating and painful situation that even talking about it requires a lot. As far as a rehab in Bucks is concerned, I don't know if there is any, however you may want to call your township. A lot of them now offer programs that are free. They can also recommend a facility suitable for your brother. But you cannot force him to go to rehab.
Did you try to go to some Al-Anon meetings? They are very helpful and a great way to keep your sanity. Addicted people think they only hurt themselves... I wish it was true.
Come back if you wish.

Tomorrow marks one month of Methadone for Ryan. We think, we hope.
A family member takes him to the clinic every morning and he continues to go.
I didn't really want Ryan to go on a support drug, but nothing else was working. Don't know why I felt that way? I guess I just wanted it all to go away.
One thing I do know is Ryan is NASTY mean on Methadone (or off heroine)!!! Which I suppose is probably normal.
You never know what if anything is going to work. Then maybe something will.
I know a month off heroine is far from sober living, but I take what I can get for now.
For those of you that commented, read and understood, emailed... you have kept me coming back.
I asked over a year ago when I first posted not to be judged and no one has.
I didn't know I needed support or understanding. I bet a lot of other people don't either.
Maybe next month with be 2!!!
