Drug Intervention speech
my daughter is an addict with mental issues who needs help, where do I turn when she is clear across counrty.?
she is only twenty years old…seems to be in and out of reality most days and she has no home or job. She hops from place to place and goes to the hospital all the time. she knows deep down she is not right and gets scared…but does not choose to leave the drugs alone. The hospital just turns her away and tell her she is fine. Once she was commited for less than 48 hours and I begged them to keep her but they said she was just brought in high on crystal meth and seemed quiet fine after she came off of it. They just gave her the speech of where to seek additional help and released her. Is there a way to get her committed to a rehab/mental health place through the state..we are of limited income and I truly believe at this point she does not know how to help herself and needs an intervention…I am at a loss.. I took leave from work, just last month and went to bring her home the trip was unsucessful. She always asks me am I okay…I tell her no and she says pray for me. HELP!
I am very sorry to hear about your daughter. I have been going through the same thing with my daughter for the past 3 years. We have had her in detox, rehab, counseling, and other programs administered by doctors and nothing has worked. The problem is that she wasn’t ready to stop. The user HAS to have hit bottom, and lost everything in order to want to change or the programs just won’t work. I think my daugher might be coming around now since her vehicle was re-posesed and I just kicked her out of the house and got a restraining order against her. It’s a hard thing for a parent to do that to their child but, in the long run, it has to be done. By doing that and also doing a lot of praying to God for his help they will eventually come around and straighten themselves out. We can’t do it for them. You can spend $50,000 or more on a rehab program and within a week of getting out of it they will be back on the drugs again if they are not really ready to quit. That’s what happened to us. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions, would like more adivse due to her being so far away, or just need support.
