[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 693508, member: 20267"] I say that recovery requires treatment, but I do not specify. Most people believe that NA/AA is the ONLY way to treat addiction, and it isn't. It is one way, which has resulted in much success, but there are others. Some people cannot do it with all the religious undertones. That always bothered me, as well. When I was doing NA, I did it because it was required to continue my Suboxone treatment. I benefited from it, but it wasn't even the main focus of my recovery. Whenever I hear about, or speak to, a chronic relapser who is dead set against NA/AA, it isn't NA/AA that they are really opposed to. It is treatment in general. They want their problem to just go away magically, without having to face the hard realities required for recovery. They wouldn't go to a completely secular meeting if one was even near them. I doubt your daughter just ran away and that fixed her problem entirely. A trap a lot of addicts fall into is thinking that a geographical change is all they need. To get away from their contacts and connections. That is a very good step, but it isn't good enough alone. What happens when you happen to stumble upon another connection in your new town? You did NOTHING to deal with the reasons you use drugs in the first place, and you will be very likely to fall back into it. Your daughter is a rarity. A truly incredible woman. [/QUOTE]
