Alcohol Intervention florida

committing someone involuntarily in Florida?

I have an aunt who is addicted to prescription medication and also used alcohol frequently. She has three kids under 18…they are 15, 11, and 8. She was baker acted by a doctor about a month ago. she also has a record from about a year ago for writing fake prescriptions. Right before Christmas she was driving the car with the kids in it and almost hit someone, we found her car parked crooked and still running while they were all in the store. It was suggested that we do an intervention however she is very volitile and we are afraid to do it on our own and cannot afford to hire a professional (from my research they are 3000-8000 dollars) what are our options to get her help and to help the kids?

Since the kids are under age, the only thing I can think of is calling social services. Tell them that you’re willing to take the kids until things get cleared up (if yo’ure willing, of course). Maybe the shock of possibly losing her kids can clean her up a bit… I don’t know.

good luck, hon, tough situation.
