Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i found out my daughter that is 35 is doing meth again had her in rehab 7 years ago i had her girls dad take them from her for now but i have found out she is haning out with some one else that has been to rehap not very long ago do you think they are doing meth again she will not anser my text or her phone it has been 24 hour and nothing she has not even called her kids to bad you charge i would not of wasted my time typing this if you would say that at the start
Hi.. i have gone through the question and understand your concern for daughter. If she was in rehab then rehab people must have explained you about drug use or addiction as a brain disease and chances of relapse are high. According to change in her behaviour that you have mentioned, there is strong possibility that she has started using meth again. urine test for meth can give you clear idea if she is using it or not.
In my clinic i usually prescribe minor tranquilliser for short duration, and focus more on psycho-therapeutic intervention to get details about reason of drug use, assessment of motivation, motivation enhancement techniques, identification of triggers, trigger management and relapse prevention strategies.
I would suggest you to meet a psychiatrist for detailed psychological assessment and medicines if required.
