My Daughter Needs Drug Rehab but We Can’t Afford It, Any Suggestions?

Question by bumble100bee: my daughter needs drug rehab but we can’t afford it, any suggestions?
My daughter is addicted to heroin, we cant afford drug rehab. Rehab costs about $ 7500.00 a month. She has been arrested twice. I have been trying to help her but there is nothing I can really do. Heroin is a bad drug to withdrawal from, and she is trying to do it herself. She doesn’t have insurance and I am on such a tight budget. Without help the chances are she will start using again. She gets violent when she is trying to withdrawal. I worry because she has a two-year old girl and I don’t want my grandchild to be raised around it. I pay for the baby to go to the sitter. Her boyfriend, (the babies father) is no help because he is addicted too. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I noticed the the nasty answers, let me clarify, Childrens services is involved. My daughter and grandchild live with me and I pay for and take her to the sitter everyday. There is no help where I live at. She is not on parole so I cant go to the court for help. This is the first time in weeks I have been on my computer, thank you, and I got it to get her some help.

What Negative Effects Come From Perscription Opiate Use, Constantly for Say 2-3 Years?

Question by Anonymous: What negative effects come from perscription opiate use, constantly for say 2-3 years?

The withdrawals surprisingly aren’t noticeable.

People opiates are only as dangerous as the person taking them, allows them to be.

My will power to quit is good, but i don’t want to quit yet..
So what will happen to someone who was addicted, continued his addiction..

Death is not an answer, unless your stupid enough to overdose..my name is anonymous, not stupid;)

basically if one was to continue snorting these opiates, what permanent effects will result?
