[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 386215"] Patriotsgirl... I so feel for you and of course totally relate. Does you daughter have criminal charges pending? You mentioned court which is why I am wondering. The court system can help in this regard if you know how to work it. Our son has been in rehab a week. He never would have gone willingly on his own because he didn't really acknowledge a problem. Then he did stupid thing number 5 and had his bail revoked on stupid things 3 and 4 and ended up in jail. Two weeks in jail convinced him he would do anything not to spend any more time in jail. So now he is in rehab with a suspended sentence and some stiff conditions for probation. If he does not stay with the program he could end up in jail again which is a very strong motivator for him. I love the fact that now the heavy hammer is coming from the court rather than us. I did find a good website called [url]www.sober-solutions.com[/url] and called them. They are a referral service for addiction treatment. I talked to a wonderful person there, explained our situation and she gave me some names of places to call. I think we found exactly the right place for our son. So I suggest you look at the website and call them for referrals. Nancy is right a good treatment program will be able to deal with people who come in with resistance. You cant physically force your daughter to go but you can continue to say she can't live with you. I wouldn't even let her come home for a night. You can say she cant come home until she completes treatment and has a good plan for staying clean. If she has a court ace I would talk to her attorney and suggest a plea bargain including treatment. If none of those work then you may have to just wait until the time is right. It is so so hard... and given she is using meth that makes it even harder because it is so scary. [/QUOTE]
