My daughter is literally dying from a meth addiction, and I can't find any place to take her to. She is in pain from top to bottom, she is having a hard time breathing, she has a fever. Where can I take her to get the help she needs, I am afraid if something isn't done I will lose her to this drug. Please Help me?

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I can understand that you are very concerned about your daughter's health condition. You have mentioned that she has some serious symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, fever and severe pain.

In such a case, I would advise you to take her to the ER at the earliest to get the appropriate medical attention. She needs aproper evaluation in order to arrive at a correct diagnosis, so that appropriate treatment can be initiated at the earliest.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
