try N/A and A/A both are good programs and the structure helps..suboxone is good too, much better than methodone (which IMO is no better than what she is using now).

she will quit when she is ready, just stay by her side and support her as much as you can.one of my ex's finally quit after years and years of cocaine use and other drugs & got married! i'm happy for her & proud of her too, another one she had been clean for 14yrs before we met..her DOC was meth..she hasn't touched it in 14 yrs..we didn't work out but her drug use never saw the light of day with me.

there is hope and it can be done, is it easy..no. but the person has to want it.
fortunately she is still young, which means more than likely this is a phase and she will grow out of it.i was in a using phase for about 6 yrs or so, i grew out of it, i still drink alcohol on occasion and smoke cigarettes, but none of the hard drugs i used to do.

i'm not an AA fanboy, it wasn't for me..but the people that make all these outrageous claims, pay it no mind..i have 3 DUI's and i have never been in ANY meeting where people were treated with anything but respect & got all 3 of my DUI's in the DUI capital of the world MICHIGAN..AKA home of the liquor store on ever corner LOL!

so you need to trust your own experience and see for yourself, everything else is speculation and personal opinion, unless you have concrete proof of ANYTHING it's not true until PROVEN otherwise.people come on the internet and say all types of things behind a computer, that's one of the reasons i don't even come on here that much anymore..don't have time for the BS. so have your girl try these programs out for herself, see if it works for you guys..if it doesn't ditch it. me, i couldn't deal with all the religious overtones..i don't need anyone force feeding me religion..but if it works for others..i'm all for it( for them of course)

try that suboxone, it works really good for some people..just may be the miracle drug you guys need.

hope this helps and good luck!
