My brother (39) was discharged from hospice for continuing to abuse his hospice medications despite them taking precautions against it. They did a 5 day discharge and provided 5 days of medications. My brother has no other Healthcare, no insurance, has never worked, no SSI, nothing to assist. He is and always has been an addict and an abusive person so I pay for a home and nothing else for him.

I told him that he needs to get to a clinic to help him with the withdrawals, but I'm afraid he won't and the withdrawals will do him in. I feel very stuck between trying to manage this knowing it won't change anything and just letting it go and letting him do what he is going to do (clinic, er, drink, who knows).
