Unless she wants to quit there isn’t a lot you can do for her. Take her to the doc and he can recommend a treatment program that will be covered by the state or county if one exists in your area.

Dear Friend, you do not need money to put her in Rehab. Contact your Health and Human Services at your local city for help with this.
No one is turned down who needs help with something like this. The problem is usually centered around the person accepting the treatment. They can only hold a person with a court order for 72 hours. Otherwise, seek help through the above as I suggested.
If you are part of a Church, they might have options, but unless you have an intervention she will likely have to ‘dry-out’ while in jail . You have a tough road ahead!
Sincere prayers in your and your daughters behalf!!
Call around to the local Alcohol and drug rehabs….Ask them if they or anyone in your area offer scholarships for people with no income or insurance…I worked in a DETOX in NY we had plenty of people who had no money or insurance …The operative word is “SCHOLARSHIP”"
Good luck!!!
From your posting, it is obvious that you realize you have a serious problem on your hands. When it comes to drug rehab, money should not be an issue. I’m sure if you talk to her primary care doctor about it, he should be able to refer you to a state program that medicaid can pay for. If you have health insurance, most insurances will cover treatment. If not, when you go to the doctor, ask to speak to someone about how to apply for medicaid.
The other issue here is your daughter’s age. If she is underage, you have the ability to have her placed in a program. If she is no longer a minor, it is unfortunately her choice if she is ready to become clean. You can only let her know how much you love her, are willing to help her, and how much it hurts you to seeh her like this.
Best wishes and I’m so sorry to hear about your daughter’s addiction.
i’m an ex-addict.
i’ve been clean for about four years.
i’m wiser to myself and to how i react to stress for it.
i used iv and lived with my dealer. my addiction caused me to lose half my weight, caused my teeth to go wobbly and gave me scurvy. i wanted to DIE when i was coming down.
franky, she needs to WANT to quit. she needs to realise that her life is on a pathway to nowhere.
my parents didn’t give a toss about me. when i REALISED i was an addict (and that is something that needs to be understood, before you can quit) – the thing that turned me around was this:
“as i child, did i ever imagine that i would turn out as a drug addict?”
no. i wanted to be a vet. of course i didn’t want to turn out like a useless piece of junk, riding on the sides of society.
when i realised i was an addict and no one could help me but me, i turned my life around.
when i KNEW it was up to me only and that everyone of my family expected me to go ‘off the rails’ – that’s when i did something about it.
no drug rehab.
no parent intervention.
it was simply the realisation that i was ending up EXACTLY as thought of by the rellies who thought i was ‘no good’
i wanted to prove them wrong.
i am sorry for you. as a parent this must be so hard.
you need to ask her. is this really what she wanted of her life. and really ask her. no yelling. no shouting.
wake her up.
she’s wasting her life.
