Now I need financial help either a sponsor who can pay the program up front and I pay them back, or ways i can possible finance her rehab. I taken out a loan and put what they require to place her there but now I need to be inventive on how to afford to keep her there and heal. She is 19 and has been living on the streets of colorado, got into legal problems and now she is on the road to recovery. If anyone can help me find an individual, organization or ideas it would be deeply appreciated.

Can a person smoke crystal meth for a few months and then stop without intervention and not be addicted?

I am worried about my 25 year old daughter. We were told by one of her friends, who has gone into a recovery program, that our daughter smokes crystal meth. She doesn’t know that we know. She still lives at home w/ both parents and a 20 year old brother. She was diagnosed as being bipolar & ADD. Her father and I have never seen the “real her”, so it is hard to know if it’s drugs or being manic. We located a live-in recovery home w/ 12 step program & is linked w/ a great church. We were going to do an intervention but now we don’t know if she is still using, since she has been better the last few weeks. It will soon be Christmas & we thought it would be better to wait after the new year. She has always been secretive and never really talks w/ us, also she lies constantly, so rationally talking to her isn’t possible. She uses confrontation to make any such communication impossible. Could she have stopped using? Do we need further proof of her drug usage to send her to a recovery program?

Am I qualified to perform a drug intervention on my daughter?

Two days ago, I discovered that my daughter is addicted to heroin. She had this habit of locking herself inside her room and I just ignored it because she told me that she is focusing on her studies. I had no idea that she was actually focusing on heroin and not on her lectures. As her father, I knew that I have to take action. I had this idea of intervening with my daughter’s addiction but I’m scared. I’m not sure if I’m the right person for the job because I was an addict too. I was into marijuana for five years and I got treated just two years ago. Should I do it?
