    Oh my god, rift3r! How horrific of you!

    To the asker: you are right for wanting to seek professional help for your mother. Drugs and alcohol along with a severe behavioral disruption are certainly cause for intervention. I applaud your inclination to help your desperate mother.

    Please visit this site for information and locations. Then Google "drug rehab" for more help.

    Good luck. I hope she gets the help she needs.

    I dated a heroin addict once. I really wanted to help him straighten his life around so I called a few rehab places and requested information and gave it to him to read. He laughed at me and told me he didn't have a problem. In fact, he told me I had a problem for thinking he had a problem.

    Sometimes we have to lead by example. If you want to help your mother you need to help yourself first. You love your mom. You want to help because you hate what she's doing to herself and to you. You want her to get better so you can have a healthy relationship with her. But the truth of the matter is, until your mother realizes and admits she has a problem she'll never get the help she needs. But don't let that stop you from getting the help you need. And you do need help. You are the child of an addict and have suffered tremendously from all you have observed and experienced. Call a rehab center or drug addiction center and ask for help for yourself. When you help yourself you'll be better armed to truly help your mother. Otherwise, you might be enabling her habit and not even aware of it.

    If you open the first page of your telephone book you'll notice a section entitled EMERGENCY NUMBERS. There is almost always a number for Alcoholics Anonymous and the Center for Addiction & Mental Health. Call and ask for information. They'll be able to direct you to other online and book resources as well. Go ahead and get information for your mom too if it makes you feel better. Leave it lying around where she'll find it instead of throwing it in her face with a candid talk. But help yourself first. Addiction centers are not only for addicts, they're for the addicts families too.

    Addiction is not an individual habit. It's a family affair.

    Good luck.

    The best site I can show you is listed below. There you will find information on over 10,000 drug and alcohol treatment facilities in the United States. Often times it is best to send someone out of your area so they are not concerned or tempted by familiar people, places and things that trigger them to use again. Also, on that site, if you can't find what you are looking for, just fill out the form and they will help you find facilities within 24 hours.

    I agree with rift3r. Although our society heavily stigmatizes the use of certain chemicals (such as opioids, which are not toxic to any of your organs and can be safe if used responsibly) to alleviate the burdens of a stressful life, it ironically approves of the use of others (SSRIs, for example, which are terrible).

    If she feels that her use of chemicals is detrimental to her life, then that's one thing. However, this is nobody's call but her own to make. If this is indeed what she feels is right for her, she can Google for "Narcotics Anonymous" and find a meeting in her area.

    Also, rehab centers tend to be highly opinionated and have a very cult-like and brainwashing type feel to them. I would, once again, recommend these only as a last resort, only if drugs are REALLY causing her problems. Maybe take a moment to really analyze whether they are having a positive or negative effect, rather than jumping to conclusions on whether or not her use of chemicals to medicate herself is a bad thing.
