All of that said, there's no point in having more money for another rehab stay if she's not ready and wanting that stay. But there MAY be insurance and/or publicly-funded resources that can help you get a slot for her when she IS ready.

That last link, about "Why they quit" has some good ideas in it about things you can do/not do to help her get ready.

If you are on Twitter, I'd recommend you show up at 8:00 pm Central time for the weekly #addictionchat, and connect with @OurYoungAddicts, who's part of a parents' network, too.

You are not alone. You are not helpless.

The first person who needs your help is you.

encouragingly,
Bright
