Hi all,

I am not new to the forums here, but this is for someone new... My daughter is here at my home, kicking heroin cold turkey. She's tried it before and couldn't get through day 3 -- this is day 2... I am at a loss for how to help her and I want to know how I might find someone in our area who could talk to her or even sit with her (with a level of security, letting a stranger into our home)?

She is miserable, hurts all over... All I can do is tell her it's not forever, eyes on the prize, etc., but she asks whether she can ever feel "normal," how to deal with the mental as well as physical pain, etc. and I have no experience with which to answer her.

(In addition, and just as coincidence to her timing to come here and go through withdrawal, a recent boyfriend died a few days ago, ODing with alcohol and heroin. I'm trying to make that some form of encouragement, but it's hard.)

Any help for someone trustworthy she might speak with? Where do I start?

Thanks in advance for any advice!!!
