Ignore Supaiku.... obviously the psychopath should try focusing on his mental problems instead of answering other people's problems. Something is definently fucked up in that kid's head! lol.. Anyway... To get your brother help you can go to several places in the LA area that aren't expensive, some of which are free.

Here's a list of a couple places he can go for Drug Rehabilitation & Therapy:

Call a local chapter of AA. Yes that's for alcholhol, but drunks are ofter multi substance abusers. The people there should be able to give you some good information on free or low cost assistance.

A good place to start would be online. Go to a search engine, google.com is my favorite, and type in drug rehab programs. I'm sure you will return many possible results.

As far as finances go, I am sure that there are programs that work with low income families. No person should ever be refused the right to seek treatment.

Whatever you do, make sure you get help for your brother ASAP. Despression goes hand in hand with addiction, and could become an even more serious problem at any time.
