[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 451704, member: 1157"] I'm so sorry that it came to this. I don't know much about drug treatment centers, I would suggest contacting some local drug abuse hotlines or county mental health/drug abuse centers for advice. Have you considered pressing charges for the thefts? That may also be an avenue for treatment (perhaps the court could order her into treatment in lieu of jail? Not sure if there's funding for that) There are others with more experience in this specific area that can advise you. I just know that I for one feel pretty strongly about consequences for theft ... so I'd think hard about that if I were you. I realize it's not an easy decision to press charges against your own child, but sometimes it can be a catalyst for change. I do want to caution you not to let her back in the house, period, on a simple promise for treatment. Do not allow her back in until she has *completed* treatment and has a plan to remain sober (i.e., involved in NA or another addict support program). Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
