[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 221977, member: 3626"] Honestly, I think you're asking an awful lot of a 15 YO who does drugs and drinks. To comply and stay in the same environment is nearly impossible for adults, let alone a young teenager. The kids at school who don't use and abuse aren't going to have anything to do with her. The only acceptance she will get is from those who do and she is at the age where peer acceptance is vital. I'd be looking into a long-term Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for her at this point. One that deals with abuse issues as well as helping gain back her self-esteem and give her the tools to at least know how to say no to all of the temptations when she is back. Whether you can get insurance or any financial help for this is another question. While my daughter did not use drugs, she did stay out all night, was completely defiant and very much out of the control. Neither insurance, school nor adoption services would assist me for any great amount. Most of the cost fell on my shoulders and I sincerely doubt I will ever recover financially from this. So, you may have to decide exactly how much you can afford to sacrifice for her. There truly have to be limits. [/QUOTE]
