My daughter has had a heroin addiction for several years. What more can I do? Serious only this is life/death?
My daughter is in her mid 20’s. She has had little clean time over the last 4 years. She has been through rehab centers and jail. She is now a convicted felon. But I received information from a trusted person (she does not live with me) that she “has one foot in the grave.” She looks horrible, expensive daily for H, so she is prostituting daily. Therefore, I called her local crisis center to try and force (green warrant) her into treatment. But I was not getting much help. So, I called the police who promptly told me if she did not answer the motel door (where she is living) there was nothing he could do. But, they agreed to check her out, and if there were were drugs in sight, etc she would be arrested. I love my daughter so I would rather she be alive and in jail. A little later my daughter calls me screaming wanting to know why I called the police. I understand her addiction, which seems to have spurs, so I told her because I love her. She told me “now you will never know where I am again” and hung up on me. I am at a lost for help. She has no health insurance and because she is a felon she is limited to assistance.
