Can You Force a 15 Year Old to Enter Drug Rehab (As Their Parent)?

Question by Cassie: Can you force a 15 year old to enter drug rehab (as their parent)?
My wife’s youngest sister is addicted to numerous drugs and openly abuses them. She is only 15. We called a treatment center and they told us that she has to want to enter or else her mother can’t force her to go. I find this ridiculous. Does anyone know if this is true!? I understand not forcing adults but minor children!? Just a sin. 🙁

The “Crossroads of South” as the water and river ports of Mississippi are referred to makes the drug situation even worse in the state.
