[QUOTE="DDD, post: 416726, member: 35"] Glad you found us. Sorry you had to seek us out. Many of us have been down a similar road and understand your shock and disappointment and fright. I'm glad you identified her substance abuse problems so help can be offered pronto. The advice to avoid negative reactions is really sound. These kids are already full of negativity (alot self imposed) and hearing supportive statements can strengthen them on the long road to recovery. There are no quick fixes. There are no parents who can solve the problems or cure the addictions. That's what makes is heartbreaking and difficult. Prepare yourself for a lenghtly process and absolutely make sure that your husband is on the same page with you. Together you will be able to find and offer treatment options in hopes she can find a healthier way of life. Start seaching for options. Keep a notebook of every place you call, note the name etc. of everyone you speak to and aim for the highest level of care you can afford. You will find a bunch of options but finding the right fit for your daughter will be tricky. Stay on the Board and you'll get support and probably some insights. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
