[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 672618, member: 15796"] She needs rehab. Been through all of this with my daughter for many years. My daughter started using young. (She admitted her use to me as well). She would also lie like a rug, steal, be violent, ULTRA paranoid and well every other horrible thing you can imagine. At age 17 we told her she had to go to rehab if she wanted to continue living at home. She chose to leave and live on the streets. I continued to try to help her, to believe her when she said she was clean and to think there was [I]something[/I] I could say or do to make her want different. A couple of months after she turned 19 she got pregnant. My husband and I were scared to death. I loved the baby the moment I knew he/she existed but my husband was extremely upset claiming we would end up raising that baby. She ended up getting arrested after a fight with the baby's father. I jumped on that opportunity to get her some help. I called the courts to beg and plead with them to do something to help her. They worked with me and she ended up in jail for the duration of her pregnancy. Luckily Connor was born perfect. She then came home and I thought magically the baby was enough for her to change. Well, it was enough for her to want change but without treatment, she was unsuccessful in staying clean. She went back to jail after testing positive on a drug test and was finally sent to a long term rehab. She is graduating Sunday after being there 11 months!! Your daughter has only been using a short amount of time. New Leaf is right - she has a great chance if she can get help. She needs to get down to the reason WHY she is using. She needs to get down to what she is trying to escape FROM. Once she works through that she has a real chance of getting out of it! Meth is a nightmare and super addictive - it makes them feel amazing so they continue to search for that high... My daughter was molested at a very young age. We had no idea. We had a lot of healing to do as a family and we did that through counseling and talking. I cannot even express the great place we are in as a family now. Just this past weekend we simply played Scrabble as a family on Saturday night and it was AWESOME. :) Personally I would do all I could to get her into treatment now rather than later...(((HUGS))) [/QUOTE]
