Drug rehab Successes - Parents stories
Laura's Story
"I have a daughter that has been abusing drugs since she was 13,
although I only realized the problem a couple years ago. The signs
were there but I just didn't want to see them. My child doing drugs.
You must be kidding. She comes from a close family that are always
there for each other, she is extremely bright, liked my everyone
that meets her – but obviously struggling with emotions and feelings
that we couldn't help her with. She also had problems picking the
wrong friends and "boyfriends". She always told us how strong she
was, but they had a way of manipulating her like nothing we had ever
seen before. I was very scary – we felt so helpless.
The hardest part as a parent was watching our intelligent,
beautiful, compassionate, empathetic, and loving daughter destroy
her self-esteem, health, future and relationships. We tried finding
suitable rehabilitation centers, but until she wanted it, they would
not accept her. After taking her to the emergency room where she
begged for help, waiting approximately 6 hours while they monitored
her vitals and drug tested her, and then watching the ambulance take
her off to detox, we were finally on our way. She way finally going
to get the help she so desperately needed and deserved.
After frustrating experiences in detox (where they started her on
three new prescription drugs) and a couple of centers where group
discussions and worksheets were the course of actions, I finally
turned to the Internet in desperation. That's where I found this
rehab. They were very helpful, understanding, and willing to accept
our daughter even though she wasn't thrilled with the prospect. Thus
began a tough time for her and the patient staff. Instead of giving
up on her when she was negative or when she did thing to try to get
suspended, they gave her much needed emotional support. They
literally saved her life. I can't describe what a relief it is to
know that she is in a safe, caring and learning environment. I don't
panic every time the phone rings; I don't stay awake all night
praying that my daughter isn't in jail or worse, dead; I don't cry
over the fact that she is in a controlling and abusive relationship.
I smile when I see the way she treats her brothers and grandparents
now; I burst with pride when she thanks my husband and myself and
says those three words, I love you, and most important I an thankful
that she feels good about herself again and realizes that life can
be fantastic without all that garbage in her system and that she
does have a lot to offer this world
She has had some set-backs on the road to being stable but I do feel
that I am getting my old daughter back and that your program will
finally work for her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for
being there when she had no where else to turn, thank you for caring
when it seemed that no one else did, and thank you for helping her
realize again the beautiful person that she is (both inside and
out)."
