Answer 1

THE ONLY WAY TO GET HELP IS IF SHE ASK FOR IT HERSELF. SHE IS 24  AN ADULT.  ASK GOD TO HELP HER IN YOUR PRAYERS. AND HE WILL GUIDE HER OUT OF THIS. DO THIS EVERY DAY AND NIGHT. WHEN GOD HEARS YOUR REQUEST THINGS WILL CHANGE FOR HER.  REMEMBER PRAY AND BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL HELP HER. AND IT WILL BE DONE.

Answer 2

she is self medicating, not unusual for people not on meds. tell her it is probably cheaper to be on medication.

Answer 3

Depending on what state you live in and if your Aunt has insurance-will determine where she will be able to go for treatment. Places like the Betty Ford Clinic or Hazeldon, costs thousands of dollars to walk in the door.

A family member needs to call the Division of Mental Health in your state and ask for the Director of occurring Disorder Treatment Centers.

You don't say how old you are, but if you want to e-mail me or have someone in your family e-mail me, I could give you more specifics. I have been a Substance Abuse Counselor for women for over 20 yrs. so I have some ideas of where to look for help. God Bless

Answer 4

Since I am from Rochester, MN, I would say the Mayo Clinic. They have an awesome rehab place. My mom went there for alcoholism. Otherwise I would look into John Hopkins.

Answer 5

The Betty Ford Clinic

Answer 6

Just take her to the nearest hospital for help. Worse case scenario,  you could call the police and they could take her to the hospital if she's a threat to anybody. Otherwise contact the hospital and see what you have to do to get the courts involved for court order care.

Answer 7

There are lots of good places depending on where you live.  But, make sure that they specialize in dual diagnosis.  Dual diagnosis is when you have both a psychiatric and a substance abuse problem.  Lots of people with mental illness take non-prescribed drugs to self-medicate. In fact, 60% of people diagnosed with bipolar disorder have addiciton issues.  In a dual diagnosis program they try to treat both the addicion and mental health issues together.  The would try to find the correct medicatoin to resolve your aunt's bipolar symptoms so she won't need to use alcohol and marijuana.  I'm not saying once her biploar meds are correct, it will be easy to get off the other drugs. It's very difficult. But, if her bipolar goes untreated or is not treated properly, she'll have no chance of getting off the pot and alcohol.  Good Luck!
