[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 462254, member: 1233"] I am so sorry you have to deal with all of this. In many ways this seems harder than the difficult child who is violent, blatantly breaks rules, is rude to your face, etc... in my opinion she needs a longer term program than the 45 day one. I don't even know that the drugs are her biggest problem, although of course they must be handled. Do you think that if you made her leave that she would kill herself? If so, one option would be to tell her she has to leave or go back to treatment/docs on x date. Then keep super close watch on her and as soon as you think she is a danger to herself, that she is choosing to die rather than go and live with ehr choices, you call the cops to transport a mentally ill person to a psychiatric hospital for a 72hr hold. That hold is for psychiatric assessment and they can order further inpatient treatment if needed. Not sure how you will pay for it, or how she will. Janet is right, she has to be doing something to get her drugs. Chances are that something is not something you want to know, and it is hurting her even more. She has a really long road ahead of her. Sadly, it seems it might be longer than many other because the other problems. I really don't know your options, but I do think you need to go to alanon or narcanon family meetings. As many as you can. Yes, you don't want to wrap your life up in her addictions, but her addictions have made YOU sick emotionally. So you need, and deserve, treatment also. Plus, some of the people at meetings might know of resources we don't. I am so sorry. It seems like such a difficult and painful situation. Please know that we are always here, and will be here for you at any time. There is time later to give back, when your heart isn't hurting so much, when the situation isn't so all-encompassing and terrifying. We all know that there are times we give, and times we receive here on the board. So no one minds you asking questions and venting. [/QUOTE]
