my friend Lauren and i are really trying to convince her sister Amanda not to name her daughter Crystal as her boyfriends last name is Meeth and her daughters name would be Crystal Meeth, would sounds and looks like Crystal Meth. She says she doesnt want to name her daughter anything else because ever since she was a little girl she has wanted to name her daughter Crystal if she had a girl and her son Kendall if she had a boy. What should we do? Her child will go through hell in school

How do I go about convincing my daughter to go to substance abuse counseling?

I really think my daughter is addicted to drugs. I am going to visit her this week, over 600 mile drive. She is 23 and living apart from her husband and 3 yr old son. She has admitted to me she has used drugs, but I think she is addicted. She is enrolled in college. I thought I would try & start w/ the school counselor. What do you think?
ty so much for all answers, yes she will be resistant, & has admitted to pot, xanex and even cocaine. Yet she doesn’t admit to problem. This is all over the phone, I’m not popping in on her, she knows I’m coming. She has said she wants therapy, but for depression, not drugs. I just don’t want to push her away & am not sure of how much legality is involved & what options I’ll face. I know she won’t go to AA or NA to start with that’s why I thought about the college counselor to recommend strict outpatient rehab maybe?
