Thank you for this, I hope that my daughter will some day accept the help we (me and my family) have all tried to get her. She knows she has a problem, knows she needs help, but wont commit to any program. My insurance wont cover anything beyond a 3 day detox and with a limited income, I have not a lot of options. I have tried to have her committed as a danger to self or others, to no avail. I wish I could lock her up and have even prayed that she go to jail for a length of time.
however, if you were in such a bad place at one time and came through, I know its possible.
