Brief Answer:
Drug addiction clinic for wholesome treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

As part of drug addiction treatment an addiction clinic can be sought for in case of your daughter. These include counselors, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and social workers. Outpatient, inpatient, or residential mode of treatment would be decided based on the initial examination and history that is provided. Psychotherpy, Behavioral cognitive therapy , Group therapy are some of the programs along with certain medications that can help your daughter recover much better then by simply prescribing drugs without social support and change of environment. I would recommend that you take her to a drug addiction clinic for further treatment.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks

Please consult your doctor before deciding on any further course of action.
