You could get her sectioned, this is done against her will so therefore she can't just walk out of where she is put. If she is a danger to herself i would look at going down that route. Otherwise go to her doctor and ask them to get her in rehab, tho if she does not want this it will not work.

If you can't take her to the hospital, call 911 and explain the situation. it might not be safe for you to drive her in anyway. she could become irrational. She needs help that you can't provide 24hrs a day. it's too exhausting and she needs prescription meds. I'm sorry for her and you, this is very painful for everyone. If you don't have insurance, they take her to the county/ city hosp or rehab center in your area.

There is a really great informational site that I think would be of some great use for you to take a look at in regards to your daughter. recoveryconnection.org/ ?utm_source= ans &utm_medium= pv &utm_content= ld &utm_campaign= rcx On the site you will find tons of helpful and useful information about drugs and alcohol, the symptoms of abuse and the causes, treatment options that are available and much more. I think this site will really help you to figure out what's going on with your daughter, and how to help her. There also is a toll-free helpline 1-800-714-8354 which I think you should call and speak to a trained professional. Explain your daughters situation and they will help advise you with next steps to be taken in order to get your daughter back on track in the right direction. Hope this is helpful, good luck to you and your daughter.
