[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 713165, member: 18958"] ksm. I relate to your doubts and fears. I think you can only do what you are doing which is to support her in the best option she has. The outpatient program sounds great. I would try not to worry about how she responds to the religious aspects. That is beyond your control. But if you wonder that friends smuggle her drugs I would not let anybody into the house. Period. She is old enough I think (or close to it) for a Job Corps program. I believe so much in this free, government job training program where the young people are housed and fed and trained and supervised in sites all over the country. They have no issues with kids with problems and will deal with them, where they are. My son's issues too center on his abandonment by his drug using parents, the degradation of their lives and the fact that he was drug-exposed and what were the consequences for him. I really feel for these kids. I think your daughter has the capacity to work this out but it will take time and life experience. I think she is not helped at all by her peer group and would benefit from being away from it. Maybe someplace like Job Corps, and later the military might help. [/QUOTE]
