How Can I Help My Daughter?Part 1

My daughter who is 41 years old, has been in short term revoery programs several times. I have always been so hopeful, only to get my "bubble popped" after she has been out for a short time.

She is on probation and did not finish her DUI classes before her probation was up. She only has one choice and that is a long term recovery program.
At times she gets so excited and makes calls, (at least she tells me that), and then will say, "I have done all of that" and decides not to go into a long term program.
She does not go to meetings.

She was living with me for 2 years and then went to another county to get help. At first she was excited about going into treatment however when she had to phone these 2 places each day to check in, she got impatient. She is not one to wait.

She does not belong in prison as she has had depression since having her son 23 years ago.
