Hi. I don't know you, and you don't know me, but a [...] friend gave me your name. I think I might need your help.

	[...] What can I do for you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I have another [...] friend. Well, two, actually. I think, and other people who care about them think, that they need help, but I'm not sure getting it on their own is going to work out. I was just wondering what options we might have if they're not willing to get help for themselves but obviously need it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It depends on what's going on with them. The best way is to convince them that they need help and provide support if they seek it out. Otherwise you're looking at going through a court of law to prove that they're unable to care for themselves and then you can have them committed. Obviously the former is easier and in many ways better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] I don't want to go that far. The one friend, she might be willing to seek help on her own, but I'm not so sure about the other. From what I've heard she refuses to admit she has a problem, never mind consider getting help for it. [After a pause.] There's drugs. Booze. Self-harm too, I'm pretty sure.

	Have you tried an intervention? Counseling for the reason behind the drug abuse? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think an intervention would go over well, and [...] I'm pretty sure one of them is already in counselling of some kind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you know if they've spoken about it with their therapist? If anything is being accomplished that route? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One has, the other doesn't even have a therapist. Pretty sure not much has been accomplished yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If they've already started to seek out help, that's a good sign. Its the first step and in many ways the hardest. Be supportive and do what you can, but realize that you can't change them. They have to want that change for themselves. With your other friend, I can send you some information to see if it helps, if you like. (Reply to this) (Parent)
