How To Get A Person Off Prescription Drugs?

I have a friend who is deeply hooked on prescription drugs. She has finally admitted she has a problem and is ready to get help. We have tried to find an in-treatment program but have been unable. It is critical for her to get into some program soon as a fear for her life. She has a 7-year old son who is being robbed of his childhood and her life is careening out of control. Can you help us find care for her before it is too late? All the shows make it seem easy to make an intervention, but we are not finding it easy...beds just don t seem available. Our intervention is not working. HELP! Thanks. Jo
