drug addiction (18 years old brother is under the influence of drugs)

01-07-2007, 07:35 PM

Hi,
My 18yr. old brother is under the influence of drugs. One night he got out of control, started throwing things around and threatened to kill the family. I called the police and he was taken for the night and charged for making "Terrorist Threats" (PC 422). I know he won't go through with something like that, but the reason I did it was to get him some help. Is this a good way to help him? Will he get locked up and if so, will they help him there? Will this cost any money for me/him? Should I just drop the charges and look somewhere else? Please help!
Thanks,
