[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 681917, member: 1967"] When my daughter overdosed on heroin on our couch, my husband found her in the nick of time. Our housekeeper who was there at the time and he did chest compressions until the EMT's could get there to give her Narcan which was a miracle drug. She was up and talking as soon as they gave her the drug. They told him that if he had come home 2 minutes later she would have died. At that point, we hired an Interventionist and sent her to a three month rehab in Florida. It was one of the most highly regarded rehabs in the country and cost us over half of our life savings. I wish I could tell you that there was a happy ending but she relapsed almost immediately. She is now in her 5th residential treatment program and really seems to want to get sober. We shall see. The good news is that she didn't shoot up heroin after we sent her away. Her drug of choice now is pills and alcohol. I do think we saved her life by getting her away from the people she was hanging around who were using heroin. I am sorry that you are going through every parents' nightmare. I highly recommend therapy. My husband and I went to a therapist for 2 years and she helped us set boundaries and see that ultimately we had no control over what our daughter chose to do with her life. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
