mapping out her lifetime sobriety seems a bit ambitious for a friday afternoon.

I hear ya. Re-reading your prior post, I see she's done the rehab thing before, so you know the drill.

There is no point in true rehab until SHE wants it, and means it. It sounds to me like you're just trying get her detoxed now before she kills herself. This is certainly admirable, in my opinion.

I wish you the best. You've got a very tough road ahead of you.

A lot of rehab places don't have a detox center, so her options will be a LOT wider once she's detoxed.


Sorry I can't help with placement.
Best of luck.

ass to ass?

Re: need to find heroin detox in la
 

Detox is just the first miserable step. She will need treatment beyond detox. Contact your community mental health center. Every state has a system, and they will be able to help. If she is destitute, there will be money to get her tx. If she has a job, and some $$, but not enough to pay for tx, it may be harder.

Of course, if you need to do everything for her, she may not be ready. Good luck.

Just get her addicted to methadone ldo

Luckily for your friend, heroin withdrawal will not kill you.

Ironically, the only withdrawal that has that possibility is alcohol, which is a legal drug. Go figure.

Good luck finding your girl a place to go, you might be best off calling your local narcotics anonymous chapter and asking for a place she can detox.

I think methadone might be the best solution for this girl.

Methadone is most definitely NOT the answer (unless the question is "What's the worst possible way to get off of heroin").


edit: Methadone withdrawal can take weeks (as opposed to a few days for heroin withdrawal). If someone is going to keep taking opiates forever, Methadone is the least destructive. If they are going to be coming off of opiates at some time, then Methadone is a terrible choice.
