Call your local Guidance Center. It’s a non-for-profit organization that is there to help. Usually if you take her to a hospital, they can admit her into a drug rehabilitation program and the cost will be based off of her income.

P.S…. she’s got to want to do it. Otherwise, you can force her to go, but she will go back to her old ways until she’s ready to take the leap herself.

hallucinations, visual and auditory, are symptoms of severe drug abuse or psychological problems. Meth addicts see bugs and stuff crawling out of their skin and this leads them to pick at themselves. Cocaine/crack addicts see everyone as police, uniformed or undercover, leading to intense paranoia.

Is you sister a danger to herself or others? In most states this is sufficient to have that person involuntarily confined to a hospital for 72hrs.
