[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 396777, member: 84"] Hmmm. I'm noticing a trend with addicts these days. They get "clean" on "street" drugs then go to psychiatrists for legal drugs. Same drugs or similar ones that produce the same effect. I'm not saying that is what your difficult child is doing.........I'm warning you to watch out for it as with the Xanax.........I have a sneaking suspicion someone has been coaching her on how to get legal drugs for the same effect. psychiatrist was on it with the xanax.......but may miss the next request. I'm suspicious of any addict requesting medications myself. My bff used psychiatric medications when she couldn't get her hands on street drugs..........then to enhance the street drugs. ugh Honestly? You can't force her to do a darn thing. That's not how addiction or getting sober works. She has to want it. She has to be willing and eager to do the hard work involved. It doesn't sound at all as if she is in that place. Sounds more like she's trying to play a game so she has a place to stay while still using. And in the process may snatch herself up some legal drugs while she's at it. Keep in mind she could be selling medications the psychiatrist is giving her to pay for the ones she prefers. I'm sorry. I agree with Witz. I'd have her leave until she is truly ready to get clean and sober. Letting her stay with you is only helping to support the addiction. Hoovers to the max, but that is the reality. Hugs [/QUOTE]
