What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OH
Subjects involved: Parents, daughter and grandchild.
How and what are the procedures to have daughter evaluated and admitted to a drug rehab against her will for the parents?
She has a child to which parents (child's grandparents) already received a temporary 6 months custody due to mother not being able to take of the child.
Court is planning to extend temporary custody every 6 months until total of 2 years when permanent custody will be appointed to the grandparents.
Meanwhile, grandparents of the child would like to have their daughter admitted to a medical rehab institution to have daughter cleaned out of drug addiction.
The daughter is basically lost, forgets things, doesn't pay bills, about to get kicked out of an apartment and etc.
Please advise the situation.
Thank you

Quite frankly, no drug rehabilitation program is going to admit an adult just because their parents want them placed into the program. They may be hospitalized for detoxing but once they have undergone this they must want rehab to be accepted into such a program.
