Quote From: outofmymndHi Indian,
Sorry it has taken so long for me to update you, but life has been somewhat difficult lately.(long story, not important here)
Anyways, I have just found out that this girl I have been speaking of as of last weekend (I think) has been clean for 10days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is very proud of herself, as are my daughter and myself. Now, what I want to try and make happen is to get her out of her house.......if she can make the committement it will take to stay off the drugs, I would let her come here, and then get her on the right road with professional help for the addiction and the conditions she has been diagnosed with.
Thanks for all your help and input with this.....it has made a huge difference!!!!

Thanks so much for your update! And that is indeed good news.
Of course, I simply can't resist one more chance to give my free advice :)
If I were you, I'd keep it simple. The most important thing this girl needs right now - in fact, ASAP - is a peer support group, presumably NA. For the short term, it trumps any kind of "professional" help.
I know you've been through a lot of this yourself, so I don't know if you feel that Al Anon would be worthwhile for you. But I'd definitely recommend that your daughter get involved with Alateen or Al Anon. There will be bumps along this road, and your daughter deserves support as much as anyone else in dealing with them.
Anyway, do keep us posted and good luck with all this! You're off to a great start!
