no dont ignore her solve the problem by getting her help go to a rehab center they will do thier best to take care of her. of coarse this might not work because rehab centers are completely optional so if that doesnt work get her help in another way and if that means sending her to a recreational jail so be it as long as she gets the help she needs
maybe... you cant help someone who doesnt want help or is not ready to leave the situation. she has to make the first step to recovery. she has to want it. there is help out there. Be assertive put your foot down when she comes around, but dont forget to tell her that you love her and that you are there for her when she is ready to get help.believe
The problem with drug addiction is that it is almost impossible to help a person unless they want to be helped. You should NOT enable her by giving her money etc, but you shouldn't cut her off either. She is your daughter and you can't abandon her when she is going threw a hard time, that would be horrible. If you cut her off when her addiction is really bad, what do you think she will do? Probably start living with people who do the same stuff and don't want to help her, maybe start sleeping with guys who will give her free drugs, or maybe move on to heroin which is the next step. You don't want that, so don't push her towards it. Oxys are similar to heroin and very addictive.That being said, there is only one thing that can really help. There is this drug called"Naltrexone". I know from experience that it works. It is implanted under the skin in the arm or the stomach. When this thing is in her she will not be able to get high, making the drugs pointless. The only downside of this, and the reason not many people do it is because it is very expensive and you have to do it every 2 months. They will tell you it lasts 3 months but don't listen, it starts wearing off after 2 and she will pretend it's still working while secretly getting high. If you can afford it, this drug is a miracle. She needs like a good 6 months straight on it to get her life back together, anything less then that and there is a higher chance she will start using again.Other than that... rehab can provide a temporary solution but chances are she will get back into the drugs once she gets out, and if she hasn't hit rock bottom and doesn't want to stop, rehab can't make her stop.Just remember that oxy withdrawl is hard and makes some people very sick. I know you are probably mad at her but you need to be there for her and provide support, because as hard as this is for you, it is much harder for her, trust me.
Don't do nothing, that just defeats the purpose of being a parent. Send her to rehab, counseling, those boot camps. Just get her help. She needs you now more than ever and abandoning her will only make her go to a downward spiral.
