Is there anything I can do to help my aunt that is addicted to prescription drugs? My aunt is addicted to prescription drugs and has been for a while.  She also has an eating disorder.  She only drinks water and never eats.  She is also addicted to smoking.  She takes pain killers and morophene patches constantly.  She doesn't even need them but one doctor she goes to continues to prescribe them.  He even knows whats going on.  She gets so high on the pain killers sometimes she passes out in bed with a cigerette lit and she has almost burnt herself up multiple times.  She gets so bad she can't walk or talk she is so high on them.  She don't even know where she is and what day it is.  I have suggested to my other aunts that we should do something but they say that the only person that can do anything about it is her son and husband (that is is seperated from).  Her son is an alcoholic and doesn't care and her husband would never say anything about what she is doing.  I fear I am the only one that can help.  Is there anything I can do to help her?
