My 19 yr. old daughter has been steadily taking ecstasy at raves for 7 months. I made her leave our home because of her behavior and attitude. She has only been clean for perhaps 2 weeks. Talking with her last night, it is clear that her memory is unstable. If she is interrupted while talking she can’t remember what she was saying and frequently stops in the middle of a sentence because she can’t keep a train of thought. Simple tasks are difficult for her to complete. She says that she knows it’s simple, but blanks out on how to do it.
It’s my understanding that there is no rejuvenating our brain cells and once they are gone, that’s it. She MAY be allowed back home, however, I have told her that she must get psychiatric (she is also bi-polar) help and counseling for her addictions. Is there anything that can be done to help her memory and every-day functioning?
