Answer by mommyx21978
She can only be forced into rehab if she is a danger to herself or others. if that is the case you should be able to have the police “chapter” her (put her in the hospital)

Answer by charlton_g_w
impossible. you might be able to have her committed if she is really a danger to herself or others (and that is usually about a 72 hour hold) but otherwise, you are SOL.

if you are over 18, get away from her. far far away and GET YOUR BUTT TO ALANON NOW…. NOW NOW NOW ALANON.

Question by JustMe: Have you ever been to Timberline Knolls?
I’d like to start off by saying that it really hard and scary and weird to come out and say “Things are not okay, I’m not okay, and I need help. I’ve had some problems for quite some time now and I’ve always believed you should do things you feel you should do even if it scares you. So that’s what I’m doing or trying to anyway. I’ve had problems with self harm, depression, anxiety, and eating disorder behavior. I think that I may have borderline personality disorder or something similar. I’ve done a lot of research lately, and I found this mental health medical facility that sounds like the kind of place I could really get help from and grow as a person. Have any of you been there? Do you think it would be a good place for someone like me? Is it expensive? Do you know if they take tricare insurance? It’d be a lot of help if I could get some answers please and thank you in advance.

Answer by Jody
Adolescents and teen girls are treated at Timberline Knoll.

There is also a residential treatment center for women “to help rediscover and harness her strengths in five core aspects of the self:”

Emotions, mind, body, social, and spirit.

They specialize in treatment for eating disorders, drug abuse, addiction, and other mental health problems that often occur with the above: trauma and PTSD, depression etc…which often lie at the root of relapse

It is expensive. They charge on a 24-hour, 7-days-a-week basis. It includes individual, family, and group therapies; all meals and lodging; clinical, educational, psychiatric, behavioral/milieu, nursing, and expressive therapeutic services.

Just found a quote of $ 995.00 dollars a day. I hope you have government insurance i.e. social security or Access.

They will check to see if your insurance will help pay. Financing options are available.

A tale of two sisters: Terrified sisters try to exorcise their home of two dark forces — their evil stepmother and a vengeful entity — in this ghostly tale. Hospitalized after their mother’s death, young Su-mi (Im Su-jeong) and Su-yeon (Mun Geun-yeong) return home to find a nasty new stepmother (Yeom Jeong-ah). The girls suffer terrifying events, but their father doesn’t care, even though evil lurks around every corner.

Shutter:Tun (Ananda Everingham), a photographer, and his girlfriend, Jane (Natthaweeranuch Thongmee), run over a young girl after a night of drinking and decide to flee the scene. The couple is haunted by the memory of their deadly choice, and soon, they notice their photos contain strange ghostly shapes. When several of Tun’s friends die in mysterious circumstances, they realize that they may be haunted by more than just bad memories.

Fingerprints: A small town lies in limbo some 50 years after a horrific accident that saw a train plow into a school bus filled with children. Can a troubled teen (Leah Pipes) fresh out of rehab unlock the truth about what caused the terrible tragedy? Lou Diamond Phillips and Kristin Cavallari of MTV’s “Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County” co-star in this supernatural thriller from screenwriting brothers Brian and Jason Cleveland.

The Orphanage:Fueled by fond memories from her childhood, Laura (Belén Rueda) persuades her husband (Fernando Cayo) to help her revamp a seaside orphanage into a facility for disabled children. But soon after the couple moves in, their son, Simón (Roger Príncep), begins exhibiting disturbing behavior. As Laura tries to understand Simón’s increasingly malevolent actions, she becomes drawn into the house’s terrifying secrets in this unnerving chiller
Silent Hill:Determined to save her terminally ill daughter (Jodelle Ferland) from death, Rose (Radha Mitchell) ignores the wishes of her husband and takes her to a faith healer. But her well-intentioned efforts somehow land them in an alternate reality. Now, Rose is in the deserted town of Silent Hill, where her daughter mysteriously disappears and she’s left to search for her child in a world of darkness and shadow.

Premonition: On a family outing, Hideki Satomi (Hiroshi Mikami) comes across a news clipping containing his young daughter’s obituary; trouble is, the girl isn’t dead. Next thing you know, a freak accident kills her exactly as the article described. Fast-forward three years: When broadsheets again start delivering disastrous future news — from slayings to train wrecks — Hideki finds himself trapped in a living nightmare in this chilling horror flick.

Dorm: When 12-year-old Ton (Charlie Trairat) transfers to an all-boys boarding school, he’s taunted by his peers and terrified by their tales about the ghosts that inhabit the school. Ton is utterly miserable — until he befriends a mysterious fellow pupil (Sirachuch Chienthaworn). Songyos Sugmakanan helms this award-winning supernatural chiller from Thailand.

The Shining: On the wagon and out of lucrative work thanks to his alcoholism and family troubles, aspiring novelist Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) accepts a position as the off-season custodian at an elegant but eerie hotel so he can write undisturbed. But shortly after Jack, his wife (Shelley Duvall) and his young son (Danny Lloyd) settle in, the ominous hotel begins to wield its sinister power in this chilling horror classic helmed by Stanley Kubrick.

The Hills have Eyes: Traveling across the American Southwest en route to California, an unsuspecting suburban family is being tracked by a group of hill dwellers whose social skills have failed to evolve — and who could attack them at any moment. If their vehicle breaks down, or if they stop to stretch their legs, their vacation could end in tragedy. Kathleen Quinlan, Vinessa Shaw, Emilie de Ravin and Dan Byrd co-star in this remake of the 1977 Wes Craven classic.
