Suggest Remedy For Weaning Off Addiction To Oxy And Heroine

I have a 29 year old daughter who just admitted to me she and her boyfriend are addicted to oxy and now heroine. I need to know what I can and need to do. They have been trying to get into clinics and programs and resources are limited and really all they can do until they can find a program that will take them NOW, is finding their next fix. Please help me and my beautiful daughter!

Hi,

Getting off drugs on one's own is difficult but not impossible. Ask her to slightly reduce the amount of drugs she is taking every week. If she can keep doing it, she can be off drugs in a few months. But it takes a lot of resolve and also support from friends and family.

Best wishes.
