I Want to Get Involved in My Sister’s Drug Treatment Program. What Rehab Has This Kind of Program?
Question by alani ls: I want to get involved in my sister’s drug treatment program. What rehab has this kind of program?
We live in Brookline, Massachusetts. I just think my sister would recover faster if I get involved in some counseling or therapy sessions, as we are very close. She’s reluctant to go into inpatient rehabilitation, so I really want to be there for her as much as I possibly can. Can somebody help us find a rehab that will allow this?

There are probably some rehabs that will allow you to participate. There are some that have this as part of their program, since a lot of patients respond positively to treatment when a loved one is there with them. You can look through the links below and call some of the rehabs. They’ll be able to give you more information regarding this. Good luck!

Deval Patrick said during an editorial board meeting at The Enterprise this week. Patrick said the governors will discuss what law enforcement steps can be taken and how the states can coordinate efforts. “Because of the trafficking issues, we are getting together … to talk about how we can, together, with our public safety officials, share more information and take a more regional approach to the criminal enforcement aspect,” Patrick said.
