Oxycodone ? 

does She Get them from a Doctor ?  the Reason i am asking is i am wondering if she takes them Daily, there are two kinds of addiction  Psychical   That is the worst,  then there's                     just wanting them & Craving the Buzz,

she can Get off them if she Really wants to get off them,   no. 1. she has to stay away from the people that she knows that takes them too,        the Psychical part Only last 3 to 4 Days after that she won't be Feeling sick anymore,

its important that she Keeps Busy doing something so she won't be thinking about them all Day,

when you are addicted you think that you JUST HAVE TO HAVE THEM  or you can't  function,

its  NOT TRUE after the Days of doing without you will see that you didn't Need them as bad as you thought you did,

i got off them,   its hard at first   just for a few days,  but she MUST WANT to get off them and do it.

she must fill in her time during the day  by doing something,

i Had Back Surgery in 87'  & recently had neck Surgery i have been addicted to Vicodin  First then it was Oxycodone, 15 mg  30 mg, 

She Has to want to get off  them,  i have been through it more than Once

i am Clean now,  and still have pain on & off

Good Luck & God Bless,

Hi

I really feel for both yourself and your daughter. Living with an addict is terrible. One way to try and stay sane is to remember that you are not talking to your daughter you are talking to the drugs.

Tonight at 11:00 PM eastern standard time there is a talk show on a radio station called CFRB in Toronto. The persons name is Mark Elliot. He deals with addicts and does interventions.

If you live in LA that won't do you much good but listen to his how and try and call in to he radio station during his talk show or call him at his office. He is an amazing man and will give some advice and he might even know of a treatment center that is really good in the LA area. It is worth a try.

His web site is http://www.markelliot.com/

Listen to his talk show tonight at http://cfrb.player.amri.ca/

I know that I am clutching at straws to try and get yourself and your daughter help, but calling him and trying to getting some help might certainly be worth the call.

Please keep us posted.

Good luck
