How Would I Go About Helping My Brother Get Some Help With His Drug Abuse and Violent Behaivor?

Question by Mary O: How would I go about helping my brother get some help with his drug abuse and violent behaivor?
If there is anyone out there that can help me it would be pretty much a life saver. My brother is one of those guys that always had a hard time growing up. From the first couple of years in grade school to when he finaly called it quits in high school he had always been in special classes. Doctors told my parents that he was one of those kids that were slow but very energetic. They told my parents that when he was 12 his mined was only that of a 6 year old. Anyways my brother is a smart guy hes just been pushed along with out the help he really needed. My parents couldnt afford for him to go to the right school so he just carried on in our over populated public school system in decatur georgia. Now my brother is calling me from jail crying for me to get him out and to help him find the help he needs. My mother told me tonight that she found a suicide note that he wrote. I need to get him help before i loose him. If theres anyone that can help please respond
