Is There PA Law That Allows Parents to Force Their Minor Child (15) Into Drug Rehab?

Question by Cassie: Is there PA law that allows parents to force their minor child (15) into drug rehab?

If your parents have custody of you, then yes, they can require you to go to drug rehab, or military school, or boarding school, as long as the facility is itself legal and licensed.
