[QUOTE="DDD, post: 600704, member: 35"] I have not dealt with heavy drugs so others will be along with more complete responses. My grandson became an alcoholic and daily pot smoker in his early teens. I immediately began to seek our substance abuse programs that I hoped would take care of the problem. Three programs, and alot of bucks, later I accepted that only he could make the changes necessary. He did end up with police involvement etc. and it was hellacious. My advice will be limited to you. Do not panic. Do not cry. If you have a husband or SO get on the same page and plan what steps you believe are best. If she is compliant by nature I would suggest exploring substance abuse programs that "might" help her. Many of us completely understand your fears. Sadly, one other note to add, IF she is now a drug user the chances are very great she will be a convincing liar. Digest the basic facts on substance abuse, read thru this forum including the archives to make sure you really understand what others have done with and without success, and then formulate a plan that you can implement with-o waivering from the goal. I am sorry you have joined us but glad for your sake that you are not alone during this scarey time. Hugs DDD PS: All of us panic and cry...just don't let your difficult child see you do it! [/QUOTE]
