My daughter has had a heroin addiction for several years. What more can I do? Serious only this is life/death?
My daughter is in her mid 20's. She has had little clean time over the last 4 years. She has been through rehab centers and jail. She is now a convicted felon. But I received information from a trusted person she does not live with me that she " has one foot in the grave." She looks horrible, expensive daily for H, so she is prostituting daily. Therefore, I called her local crisis center to try and force green warrant her into treatment. But I was not getting much help. So, I called the police who promptly told me if she did not answer the motel door where she is living there was nothing he could do. But, they agreed to check her out, and if there were were drugs in sight, etc she would be arrested. I love my daughter so I would rather she be alive and in jail. A little later my daughter calls me screaming wanting to know why I called the police. I understand her addiction, which seems to have spurs, so I told her because I love her. She told me " now you will never know where I am again" and hung up on me. I am at a lost for help. She has no health insurance and because she is a felon she is limited to assistance.

Anyone heard of treating heroin addiction and depression with marijuana?
I am looking for websites or articles that talk about this issue. This is a serious question and I would really appreciate serious answers. I know that marijuana has medicinal uses and that both depression and heroin addiction are treated with pharmaceutical drugs which can sometimes be just as harmful. The person is already off of the heroin and has gone through the withdrawals. The doctors put them on a medication combination that has caused them even worse depression. I understand that marijuana is more natural but a lot of people think it too is addictive...then again some people don't. I'm wondering if any research has been done on the issue. Thanks.

Help for heroin addiction?
I have a friend that's addicted to heroin. She's been addicted to it for 10 years. Since August, she has gone to 5 different drug treatment programs and nothing has worked. In patient and out patient. A couple of days ago, I took her to an annex of Coney Island hospital for out patient care. It was too late in the day. They said she should go there today at 9 00 A.M. I took her there then. They were suppose to do a urine test. Instead of giving her a prescription, a quack therapist gave her gibberish. Stay away from Coney Island hospital, all other city hospitals, and welfare. All of them are garbage. I'm located at zip code 11235. Where can she get a prescription for Suboxone from a private doctor that accepts medicaid?

Is Methadone the best way for the treatment of heroin addiction?


Have you heard of a drug used in Europe that cures heroin addiction?
I just saw Law & Order Special Victims Unit, Season 11, Episode 7. It included discussion of a drug, called something like idocaine, that has been used in Europe to cure heroin addiction in 24 hours with no significant side effects. In the story, it was said that it is illegal in the US because the patent protection has run out on it, so no drug company can make money on it. Therefore, they won't spend the money to put it through the FDA's approval process.Does anyone know if there is any truth to this? And if so, how would we go about persuading Congress to put up the money to get it approved? Or maybe change the rules so the work done in Europe would be counted as evidence of its value. After all, it would save lives and also bring the crime rate way down, save tons of money in a variety of ways.
