Please Help ME!!!!

Hi Everyone -
I have a 20 year old daughter that I am in dyer and desperate need of finding a inpt facility to accept her without insurance. She is addicted to painkillers and she is killing herself. I have tried everything. I would die and go to hell if it would mean me getting her into a facility. She's crying for help!!! She has tried to stop on her own but she can't get thru the withdrawals. I am asking - no I am BEGGING for help. Somebody please, please help me.

I am sorry for your daughters pain (and yours) I suggest you call every place in your area and ask for suggestions. If they dont have any free beds (which some do) ask them about places for her, explain the situation. People in the industry are the best for that kind of information. Just pick up the phone book, call your local social services agency ask them for information, use whatever services your county offers to get information.

I hope that your daughter wants to stop as much as you want her to.

Blessings to both of you.

Paulie's advice is great.

I would also suggest The Salvation Army which offers free recovery programs.

Your daughter does really need to want help for any program to work for her.

Here is a treatment search link that may help.

Call the Salvation Army as I believe they have treatment facilities available for free.

Maybe a local chapter of NA or the national NA hotline could give you suggestions? There has to be something something somewhere.
