Question by Monika: Can anyone give me advice on having an intervention and sending a loved one to drug rehab?
My mom is addicted to prescription drugs. I’ve always known about this problem, but it just recently hit an all time high. She can’t stand up straight 95% of the time. It’s really really sad. I want to have an intervention with family and close friends so we can tell her she has a huge problem and hopefully convince her to go to rehab. By the way, this is the last straw. We’ve tried to talk to her and send her to medical doctors.—They just prescribe her more drugs! I’m very worried that she won’t wake up one day or she’ll get in a car accident on her 40 minute commute to and from work. Does anyone have any insight from a similar situation?
Thank you so much for your insight and support. It’s a very very difficult situation to deal with.
