Little brother tearing us apart

My little brother is very addicted to quite a few drugs. My parents dont know what to do anymore. He cant go to college, because he wont attend class. He cant get a job because he honestly looks like an addict at first sight. And he has all the other problems such as realiablity, responsibility, and untrustworthy. I cant face him anymore even living in the same house. We are a family of 7. Mom, dad, older brother, myself, little brother, and two younger sisters in high school. And none of us feel like we can even approach my brother any more, it makes us so angry. Everything he does to himself when his life could have been completely different. I am actually a MS teacher and I see students everyday facing the same trouble, always a similar sad story. But my brother has never had a sad story. Hes about to turn 21 and its evident that he is in need of serious help. But WHAT to do, we cant MAKE him go to rehab, and even so rehab is too expensive for the family. He is literally withering away.

Hi,

 

The best thing you can do is talk to him, listen to his problems and be understanding.

 

The worst thing you can do is to be judgemental and tell him all the things he is doing wrong.
