What Can I Do About a Drug Addict Family Member Who’s in Denial and Refuses to Get Help?

Question by Annamarie .: What can I do about a drug addict family member who’s in denial and refuses to get help?
My sister is a drug addict. We have tried talking to her, but she just gets irate and ready to beat someone up. It has gotten so bad that drug dealers are now looking for her, because she owes them money (money she doesn’t have, of course) Is there anything we can do, even if she doesn’t voluntarily accept, before the drugs or the dealers end up killing her?
