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. [ ChrisTE's advice column | Ask ChrisTE A Question ]
