Dude, I am trying to help. I've been there.

So, you spend the money for 4-5 days in detox, she get's released, stays clean for a bit, then she shoots up, snorts, smokes, or whatever again, and where are you? Exactly where you are today.

That's the way opiate addiction works. I take it this isn't the first time you've seen this pattern, right?

What is your goal with going just detox?

yeah i realize she won't get "cured" in a week and that her sobriety will be a daily commitment for the rest of her life etc..

i also realize that often the only solution for chronic relapsers is long term inpatient treatment.

my immediate goal is to buy myself some time until i can find a longer term solution. her family has written her off (for now), but if i am able to help her at least get headed in the right direction, then maybe they will get re-involved. mapping out her lifetime sobriety seems a bit ambitious for a friday afternoon.
