Help And Advice About An Out Of Control 15 Y.o.

Hello I am reaching out as an older sister (25). This is my first ever post here but I am at a lost of how to help my grandparents. I have been out of the house for 2 years now and my youngest brother has gotten out of control with sneaking out, underage drinking, doing drugs, and damaging property.

Some background we were taken in by our grandparents and put under guardianship when he was 4 and I was 13. This was due to heavy neglect from our parents. Both of our parents have since passed away from drug overdose.

In the present ever since my brother has turned 11 he has started to act out. My grandfather is mostly to blame for how bad he got since there was no punishment ever dealt and he would go against my grandma and let him do whatever he wanted. He has gotten worse over time and has already been arrested twice and kicked out of school due to fighting, trespassing, and drunk driving. He is doing drugs in the house, sneaking out to have sex with his girlfriend, and doesn't listen to anyone. When he gets in a fight with his girlfriend or gets told something he doesn't like he will break things and punch holes in the wall. He has already almost gotten arrested for punching my grandfather. He was at a Court ordered rehab a couple months back but somehow got himself out and back home due to claiming there was abuse in the facility. My grandma is trying to get him into another place but no one will accept him unless he is willing to go.

Now I worry for her a lot because she can't handle stress and isn't sleeping. She has already had a heart attack in the past and I'm worried this stress might cause another. Is there any way to legally get him somewhere or at least out of their house in a group home?
