Suggest Treatment For Addiction To Drugs
I have a 44 year old daughter who is addicted to drugs and is also homeless. She has been like this for years and nothing I say or dosent seem to make a difference. She throughs the guilt trip at me that she will en her life and that she cant take life anymore so naturally I end up sending her money and I know it will go towards pills. Myself and others have tried to tell where to go for help but her answer to that is they cant help me . I don t know what else to do. Could you please help me as to what to do?

Hello,
Its very unlikely that your daughter seek help herself since she is already addicted.So unfortunately you may have to get her admitted probably forcibly or using help from government agencies,its unlikely that any medicines would help her as long as she is not in some protected set up.Threatening for money is very common with drug abusers usually they dnt do what they claim they are going to but risk of suicide is always high.
