(((sister))) I'm sorry for what your going through. I also am the mom of a 22 year old rcovering heroin addict. She started w/ crack, then snorting heroin, then shooting heroin, then coke & heroin, (speedballing) . My daughter will be clean & sober 17 months this coming friday. The last time she ended up in medical detox (regular detox wouldn't take her again). She has done 3 months in a halfway house. Her choice, it did her the world of good. She is still friends with alot of the people today. She is also looking into working part time at the half way house to help other addicts. I am from upstate NY. If I can help you at all please ask. It is not sad to say that you get a bit of a break when they are in rehab. It is true. You can sleep sounder, knowing they are safe . Take care, keeping your family in my toughts & prayers.
