My Sister Is Addicted to Crack. She Keeps Getting Disgusting Infections. How to Help Her?

Question by Chanele G: My sister is addicted to crack. She keeps getting disgusting infections. How to help her?
She gets these big huge bubbles filled with pus and blood clots from the needles. Can’t you catch hepatitis C and AIDS? I know she can but I guess I’m in denial. I wish she would stop. But she wont listen. And wont go to rehab. I’m lost. Has anyone ever dealt with this before? What am I to do?

Intervention. Drag her to recovery which is what you’ll have to do. You can’t just ask addicts what they want to do.
