Dear Leigh~
I'm glad you were able to have even a brief conversation, in the remand centers there is little of the outside world and contact from family can make an awful lot of difference.
We all here are saying the same thing to you in different ways, you need to look after and pace yourself. We don't say it as an easy thing to advise, but simply because too many people think they are an infinite resource, a bottomless well of support. We all have limits, and often don't realize what the are.
With rehab, if you brother is lucky enough to be offered the chance it will only work if he really wants it to. Going though the motions to satisfy a magistrate is not enough. Does he have a partner or other person he really cares about to provide motivation? Often one does not care about oneself sufficiently. Perhaps being scared is a start.
Good luck with Legal Aid, they would be very used to the situation.
