My daughter and her BF walked into my house one afternoon asking for help. They were both strung out on OXY. I tried to get her to go to the hospital but she would not leave him. Wasnt going to provide that kind of care for him.

So we made an agreement that they would step down(she could not have handled cold turkey)but that if she got sick we would take her to the ER. I had been stocking up on pedialtye in case she came here. That was the start of things..she was dehydrated.
She had a script for the OXY so no illegal drugs.

It took about 6 weeks to get her healthy and detoxed. They were not allowed to leave or have anyone come here or they were going to be kicked out.

If there is any other way I would say don't put your self through this...I spent many hours on the floor with her holding her due to the pain and other misery. And many evenings listening to the addict fight the disease trying to pass the time.

In the end I am glad she kicked it...but as I said I would try to get professional help.
