I [26F] have never been great with money, but now there is a high chance I am going to have a settlement paid to me that, given the circumstances, will probably be life changing. What is the best plan for me once I get the money?

Terrible with money, my mother was too and her mom. My dad is great with money and so is my brother, so I thought making one of them a co-executor on it so I don't blow it all on stupid shit. I also am a recovering drug addict that only has 1 year down, so keep that in mind. Some of the money will be going to pay for a 30 day inpatient rehab, I have 1 year sober but I still need to go otherwise I won't have all the tools I may need to prevent relapse.

I have $68,000 in student loans, and a sub 600 credit score. So like I said this could be life changing.
