She has never been in a residential program, though it has been reccomended.
She will be able to get a job after 45 days, so that at least will be some help.. I am 62 years old an may not be around to help her 10 or20 years on the future, so if I can find a way to help her now that will make a difference in the rest of her life. I feel like I want to do it.. even if it means taking mone out of my meager retirement. It isn't like there is enough in there to provide much for me to live on anyway.
I am going to go forward in faith with a positive attitude that God will take care of me and my daughter. I don't have the luxury of a negative thought!

I also picked a rehab center that pays special attention to the psychological aspects of addiction/recovery and has generous 1:1 counseling with its psychiatric staff. And you know witih my husband the doctors never suggested bipolar. So I would think if her doctors are seeing signs of illness in your daughter, then there is more than likely something going on.
I am so sorry that it is causing you a financial burden. But I agree that we have to follow our own conscious, trust in God to see us through and guide our decisions. Then just dont look back, look forward. You are offering her the best resources available, and what she learns here will hopefully stick with her for life. So even if she should suffer a relapse, hopefully she can fall back on this experience and the knowledge she gained, and find her way again.
I will be praying for your family.
