Thank you for your support on the general bb for my niece.
My sister got her into rehab today ... it's only for 29 days but it's better than nothing. Apparently there was a lot of fear and a lot of tears and that's why it took all day.
The bad news is ... I thought my niece was doing pot and crack. Turns out she's into crystal meth. Her face is all broken out and she's lost a lot of weight.
A good friend of mine is a former deputy sheriff and she sent me pics online, b4 and after, of crystal meth users. OMG. I had seen these pics b4 but never thought I would know anyone personally who might go through that.
My friend said she was given training on the dept. 4 yrs ago, so it may be outdated, but they were told that there's only a 2% permanent rehab rate for crystal meth.
My little sister is saying things like "just keeping her alive" in regard to how successful the rehab will be (this is her 4th time I think) ... so I think she knows she's living on borrowed time.
Someone, somewhere has to be in that 2%. Why can't it be my niece?
