I need some advice real bad. Me and my husband were just having a normal day then all of a sudden he gets a call from his older brother who is 21 years old. So his brother tells him that their younger brother who is 17 has been smoking Crystal meth but the last time he smoked it was friday night. I guess the younger brother is tripping out and telling his oldest bro that he doesn't trust him and that he wants to kill him and that he can see into the future and he thinks that he has crack the code about life and death...but the problem is he hasn't smoked since friday...does anybody know whats wrong with him?....what should we do? should we send him to rehab? to boot camp? any Ideas? and we cant tell his parents because his mother is sick and if they tell her this she could get a stroke...if we tell his father hes going to hit him...any advice or ideas will be helpful.

I answer these questions to try to do a charity. Get good karma back from all the bad things and drugs i have done. No one on this thing have really done any drugs so i always figured people like you need an opinion from someone who has actually done it all before... The reason the kid is freaking out so much is most likely because, even though it might have been since friday the last time he smoked, the effects last much longer than that. For instance, i would smoke meth once, and stay up (not on purpose, just because it happened) for up to 5 or so days. It keeps you awake, and once you dont have enough sleep you can become paranoid, you can start to halucinate, your mind just isn't right if you dont get sleep. Once i binged for almost a month without sleep, just meth. There at the end, i was in a park, screaming at a tree because i thought someone was on the other side of it that i couldn't catch who kept telling me he was going to kill me. the best thing i can reccommend to you is make sure he sleeps. best remedy to "coming down " on any harder drug is either downer pills (valium, xanax, oxycotton, etc etc.) OR have him smoke weed, this will make his body tired and get him to sleep. When he wakes up, you need to keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't do it again, raid his room. if he is doing it in the house you will smell it (cant describe the smell (it just smells like burnt poop) but you will know if he is) if he gets his hands on more and does more. the best thing to do for him is call the cops get him on parol, if he skips parol then he will be forced by law to go to rehab. GOOD LUCK!

Well he's obviously having a psychotic episode. Call the cops on him. There are places they take juveniles to sober up and give them (very poor) health services. He needs to go to rehab after the psych ward so he can get some real treatment. Or tell the father. Sounds like getting smacked around could do him a little good.

Was he asking for help? If he is 17 you can't legally "send " him to rehab or boot camp without first getting a court order and have him admitted for treatment by a judge. The age for mental health decisions is 16 (at least in Texas it is). If you and your husband feel he is a threat to himself or someone else, then you can call 911 and the police can take custody and take it from there. You really don't want to do that if it's not necessary. It would be much better to try and talk the brother into getting help. Of course, if he is actually threatening harm, by all means, CALL 911. He may be saying he hasn't smoked since Friday, but I doubt he is being truthful on that. I think you should look up mental health or drug abuse in your Yellow Pages and call the 800 number or local number listed. You will get a counselor on the phone who can direct you. Please don't hesitate. It sounds like the brother is seeking help and trusts your husband. It's not going to get any better unless he gets help now. Good luck.
