[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 745151, member: 21066"] I think you were right to file a missing persons report. Like Copa said, you've ruled out all the worst case scenarios, and your daughter probably wasn't ready to face you because she knows you won't approve of her not ready to get clean. Every addict has to be ready. It has to be in her own time. All addicts know they need to give up drugs and that they have to do it for their families, but until they want to do it for themselves, they may not succeed. We have such a major epidemic in our city right now. The DA just released a report, and the situation actually improved in the past two years. However, things are still very bad. The addicted brain thinks it cannot stop using or drinking. That is what drugs do to the brain chemistry. The mental and emotional chemistry is forever changed. I think those twelve step programs have a high failure rate, so I don't know why the twelve step programs are still the main treatment method. There are other forms of treatment, but the majority of treatment centers don't seem to provide those. I know you're scared for your daughter. She's probably just ashamed because she let you down.
