In NH Can a Spouse Admit Their Spouse to a Rehabilitation Center?

Question by Blue: In NH can a spouse admit their spouse to a rehabilitation center?
I have a 30 year old married daughter who is a heroin addict. She wants help but is a workaholic. She owns a nice house and thinks that if she goes to a rehab that she will lose her house. She cares about things that are material and not herself.

She has 3 children and a husband. I told him that I’d heard that he could have her admitted because she won’t do it herself even after proclaiming she wants help. Supposedly, in NH spouses can admit their spouse to a hospital or rehabilitation center. Does anyone have further info on this? Is it true?

I would take her myself but I can’t according to some laws in NH. I lose sleep worrying about her dying. She doesn’t shoot up but she could still die from an overdose right? Just taking too much? She thinks she won’t die because she doesn’t shoot up. Oh Lord!

Any advice is very much appreciated. Thank you for reading my post.

He needs to talk to his family doctor. It may be that he needs a doctor’s signature in order to commit her to rehab, or even a doctor and a judge if she’s not willing.

Anyone can die of an overdose. Taking too much is taking too much.
