[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 672889, member: 1963"] Rosie, she's in the grips of stimulant psychosis. This,sadly, isn't uncommon in heavy meth (ice) users. Unfortunately, because she is a legal adult, there is nothing you can do to force her into treatment, and treatment for the psychosis is what she needs, especially as in some cases it can become permanent. The best thing you can do at this point is to call the police each and every time she shows up and acts out. Swear out a restraining order on her. ANYTHING you can do to get her picked up by the police. Right now, her only avenue of treatment is through the courts, and its somewhat doubtful if she'll get treatment there. The good thing is that meth actually isn't that physically addictive. It is, however, horribly mentally addictive, both because it provides and incredible rush and high, and because the come-down from it is awful: horrible anxiety, depression, exhaustion, etc. She will need assitance in breaking the mental addiction, medication for the psychosis, and medical and therapeutic treatment for the other MH and emotional issues. You CANNOT continue your relationship with her on the level it is currently at. It isn't helping her, and it will destroy you and the rest of your family. [/QUOTE]
