How can I help?
Hi, I am here to try to gt some insight into an addicts/recovering addicts head. My son died of a drug overdose in 2008 and age 27. My 22 year old daughter is a heroin addict. She has been in an in house rehab and was in a methodone clinic. She is currently not in the clinic, and is working to get back in. She had to leave for financial reasons, not for being dirty for heroin.
I don't know how to help her. Everything I read about methodone scares me as much as heroin. Right now whe is taking opiate pills to get her thru until she can get back into the clinic. I am so afraid she will start using again.
She hates herself for messing up at the clinic, and for ever starting to use drugs in the first place.
I don't know what I am looking for--maybe just a place to vent where I don't have to worry about someone judging my child. She's a good person--she's just made some really crappy choices in life.
