[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 677482, member: 15796"] They can get drugs in jail albeit probably a bit harder. Jail definitely helped save my daughter. She was 19, pregnant and a meth addict. Once she got arrested for a misdemeanor, I called the courts and pleaded for help. They drug tested her and she tested positive during pre-court diversion so they kept her in jail for the duration of her pregnancy. She came home after she had the baby, relapsed and ended up getting arrested again for probation violation (finally tested dirty on a test at probation). She then went to a year long rehab at a ministry - one that I would never have found on my own! She has now been clean since October 2014 and is a VERY different person today. She and our grandson are back home and life is really going awesome. She has found that she is a workaholic like her dad and I(but there are far worse things to be) and she is a great mom. There IS hope but yes, the courts/hospitals have FAR better resources than we do...some of them are just lazy... My daughter was very young when she started and thankfully very young when she got help. BUT I do know older adults that she was hanging around with that have also cleaned up. It CAN happen. They need to want it and sometimes the need to want it comes from wanting to be in jail again... [/QUOTE]
