You can’t give up. My bosses son has a long history of drug abuse. Went to rehab over 30 times. I could tell my boss was tired and on the verge of giving up. His son is now 18 months sober. Miracles happen everyday.

Can’t force.
I’m just suggesting a type of rehab if they can get her there
People use the beachside stuff to get their kids to agree to check in but these places don’t usually produce results.
This isn’t funny or fun and should be treated as such in rehab. You need to understand you are headed the extract opposite way of a beachside resort. You are headed to the streets and hotels and will really get an education in how to pay bills.

My physical addiction was so bad I couldn’t go longer than 30 mins without getting the shakes.
Almost 6 years sober now. I am a beast. Mental toughness 1%er.

What’s the point of snorting Wellbutrin? It’s not like Adderall or oxy where you get high from it

Yea it gives the user a euphoric effect. It’s closely monitored in prisons as it’s been abused. Apparently it’s similar to cocaine or meth.

She needs to go inpatient immediately, in a program that doesn’t just focus on sobriety but also focuses on mental health. That’s a very important distinction because there are also of rehabs and they will offer a sliver of mental health therapy. She needs one that focuses on mental health 50/50. I would suggest 90 days with an outpatient follow up and strict boundaries with you and her Mom. She needs to be active once she’s successfully completed this first step. I wouldn’t rush to get her back into school. This is first and foremost your priority. School can wait. She needs love but right now she needs help more. Love her by helping her. May God Bless you and your family. You have a long road ahead of you. Lean on others.

Need to take her home asap. Ditch college, get her a job waitressing or something. She needs to be working full time. College and idleness is terrible for this kind of thing

I skipped over a lot. I may have missed someone advising Tough love. It all starts with tough love on your part at this point. As of now according to this writing I see an enabler. Nothing wrong on your point because it is normal HOWEVER it will never fix her. Tough love will work if you will use it. Get her help immediately as well as an education from them on what you should do.

I’ve been through this with my son in his first year of college. I agree with inpatient rehab. A couple of things…
1. Do not prevent her from drinking or taking drugs on the way to rehab. They will test her for drugs and alcohol and if it’s detected they will admit her.
2. Be aware of extended treatment after she leaves rehab. These can be a huge insurance racket providing limited benefit.
3. Pray a lot and pray hard. These kids get into powerful substances without truly appreciating how powerful they can be.

OP, I hope you will update this thread with some good news soon. Keeping your family in our prayers.

Thank you. Yes, I foresee a long struggle.
My wife came home last night from getting our son’s family moved in a new house in Florida. First thing she tells my wife is that I’m wanting to kick her out. I said nothing of the sort. I told her we would help her and get her into rehab, yet we had boundaries. The fact that she took this as a threat and overlooked us wanting to help, I just feel she’s minimizing her use. And I also thing, she’s using a “splitting” tactic between my wife and I. I worked the last few years in outpatient psych and this seems to be common with addicts.
She’s got a job waiting on tables close to us and we are moving her out of the dorm tomorrow. I’m praying I can convince her to do a rehab stay.
Having grown up with addiction in my family, one thing I know is that they can be straight and sober for a couple of days and lull you into a false sense of security.
For now, we are one day at a time, and my wife and I are looking at Al-anon groups for support.
I really want to thank all of y’all that have offered advice and prayers. Thank you again….

Praying for you my friend. I lost my nephew to drugs 1 year after I lost my brother (his dad) from colon cancer. He asked me to save him. I lost the battle.

Probably aren’t many options but the service industry isn’t the best place for her. Drugs and alcohol are rampant
