While the crisis of the artist, Sherine Abdel Wahab, is still imposing herself on public opinion in Egypt, and her detention in a private hospital for addiction is still raising questions about the legal extent of her brother Mohamed Abdel Wahab, an Egyptian official assured Al -Arabiya Net that the addiction patient who suffers from Psychological problems, and poses a threat to his family, himself or his surrounding environment, his family can apply for forced treatment.

The legislation permits the family of an addiction patient to be forcibly seized, according to Amr Othman, director of the Fund for the Control and Treatment of Addiction of the Ministry of Solidarity, even if the fund does not offer this service.
He stated that the fund provides treatment at the level of 28 therapeutic centers, but the service it provides is voluntary, that is, the addict has to provide himself for treatment and the purpose of its will, through the hotline.
According to him, the fund also offers a motivational treatment service, which is meant to assist individuals seeking treatment as well as those who are hesitant to make the right choice and encourage them to stick to the treatment more closely while still operating within its stated goals.
Othman emphasised that current research confirms that forced treatment may be useful in treating some situations and that the hospital deals with the patient through special committees, which are under the monitoring of the National Council for Mental Health.
Her ex-artist Hossam Habib and the producer Sarah Al-Tabakh were gathered in an apartment to use drugs, and Sherine’s brother recently admitted that he had brought a specialised medical staff with him to force his sister to go to the hospital. This caused a great deal of controversy and prompted Sherine’s attorney to file a report to the deputy General.
In a related context, the leader of the musicians, Mustafa Kamel, had disclosed that he and a few of his colleagues had been on a visit to the artist Sherine, but that they had been prevented from seeing her because of the investigations for the investigations and from allowing her to leave the hospital.
He added in press statements: “We, the Syndicate Council and its colleagues do not have it other than the supplication, and we, as the Syndicate of Musical Professions, are supporters of Sherine in all meanings.
The Egyptian artist is receiving treatment in a private hospital right now after her brother forced others to accompany them.
Is what the Sherine family did to coerce her into quitting her addiction considered “treatment by force”?
