I’m a new member lost in the crazy, sad world of my daughter’s addiction.
Over the summer we discovered 21 yr old daughter had started using heroin. She had used cocaine in the past. Long story short, we immediately put her into inpatient rehab for 3 weeks. She left and went to sober living for 30 days before she ran away. Three more rehabs and a 2 week stay in psychiatric facility and she had been doing well for 60 days. She starts having angry outbursts, getting into fights and lying about her relationship with me, or telling people I’m dead. I’ve died 5 times in the past 12 months. She has never given permission for professionals to talk to me but there is a bipolar diagnosis suspected. Tuesday she ran away from sober house, used, and talked her way back into the third rehab place. They sent car to pick her up, but she gets out of car in mountain area. She is in a different state. No one knows where she is. She isn’t answering phone.
What do I do? Should I call police where I think she is? Of course I’m thinking the worst; if she’s dead how will I know? She has no ID on her.
I can’t believe this is my life.
