Just like 56789 said - do whatever it takes. I try to keep a good, open and honest relationship with my son and I talk to him about the dangers of drugs, but they have a lot of peer pressure these days in school and with frienRAB. You cannot talk down to them or, especially, yell at them. You have to be completely supportive and say that you understand that they have a problem and that you want to help them. Tell them you want to do it together. Build a good trust with your child over this. If you can get them to admit that they want and need to get off of the drugs, it will be so much easier than doing an intervention. Get them to participate and have them want to get off of them if you can, but if you have to a a drug intervention, do it! Call the local Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and ask for their opinions also and if there are drug programs for your child available.

Good luck and keep us informed. Your child will probably go through withdrawals when they get off and the people here are available to explain what they will go through and how to lessen them. Don't just have them stop taking them - they will have to taper off depending on how much they are taking each day.
 
Scott - Thank you so much! My dgtr is 20 yo and has a 20 month old son, the baby lives w/us. I don't trust her with him. I've tried to get her to talk with counselors, but she lies, and blames everyone in her family for using. I'll call NA. But I fear that unless she understanRAB the importance of getting clean, it won't do any good. We've taken her car keys. At this point I don't know what to do. I hesitate to take either legal recourse or get social services involved, b/c that could be a one way street you could never get off. I'll call NA. Please pray for my family - God knows our names.
 
we will keep praying for you family . it sounRAB like a tough situation , sounRAB like addictive behaiver . an if your afraid to leave her with her own babey. your feelings . go with you gut instinked . take action now :)
 
Eggs,

Welcome! I am sorry to hear of your situation. Addictions caus so much pain in too many lives!

It sounRAB to me your daughter is blessed to have you! Taking care of her child, still loving her... Some day I pray she see's the true blessing you are to her than just someone who is fighting her addiction when she is not ready to. I hate to say this but unless she is ready to make the leap to sobriety you are going to hit a lot of brick walls. Hopefully someday soon she will see her addiction for what is truly is. A LIVING NIGHTMARE! One she will fight the rest of her life.

You hang in there and keep us posted. Yes, God does know your names and I will be sure to have a little chat with him about you and yours!;)

God Bless,
