Determine first if your daughter doesn’t need 24-hour supervision. Ask a healthcare provider or a doctor to assess her situation in order for you to know if an outpatient treatment program would be right for her. You can check the yellow pages to find contact information regarding these programs. Ask your doctor for help in choosing which kind of program would be right for yoru daughter. Then, have your daughter select a program that she feels comfortable with.A group of people that has the same background would be good for her as she won’t be feeling so alone.

Good luck! I hope she gets better soon.

Part of the way AA works is that no member discusses what any other member has said. They may reveal things which are deeply personal, and of course nobody wants that blabbed all over. They use only first names as one means of adding anonymity to the process of helping one another stay sober.
