His daughter’s addiction is getting worst, as a father he won’t let his daughter ruin her own life we search ton's of website till we found drug rehab Minnesota (http://www.rehabcareaddiction.com/), after my friend read all the info about that rehab he decided to bring his daughter their but the first thing he need to do is to convince his daughter to go to rehab.

What is it about that particular program that appealed to your friend? Does it specifically help people with a heroin addiction, or is it perhaps a dual-diagnosis program for people with BPD and a substance abuse problem? Title: Re: heroin addiction Post by: Rapt Reader on April 28, 2015, 06:39:48 PM Hello, Shankz, like livednlearned I'm also curious as to what led your friend to choose that particular Rehab for his daughter (not that there's anything wrong with that place; I live in a different state and have no knowledge of it in any way). Does his daughter have a mental illness, besides her Heroin Addiction? If so, if this Rehab is a Dual Diagnosis Program, then it would be very helpful to her.
My own adult (38) son also had a Heroin Addiction that lasted for a few years; he went through two "Regular Rehabs" within a 2 year period but relapsed within 6 months of being discharged from both of them. Luckily, in 2013) he was admitted to a Dual Diagnosis Program where they diagnosed him with BPD (he'd already been diagnosed with Suicidal Ideations, Social Anxiety, Depression, and ADD since he was 20 years old). That Program treated his BPD and other Diagnoses as the priority, and the drug addiction as co-morbid to them. Properly treated, he has now been clean and sober for more than 2 years (yaaaay!), and probably wouldn't even be diagnosed with the BPD anymore... .He doesn't suffer from debilitating Depression anymore, and isn't suicidal. The only thing he is dealing with is the Social Anxiety, but is getting help for that and is improving. He's really a new man Just wanted to let you know that there is hope for your friend's daughter if she gets the proper diagnosis, proper treatment, and right Program to handle it. I wish your friend all the best, Shankz... . |
