No, she was released to go straight home with home visit therapy for the next 5 weeks. So no rehab/therapy related to her OD?? No offense, but she needs drug therapy or the next time she'll be dead. Sorry to be so blunt but you HAVE to know that this is a possibility if she does not get help.

It sounds like she really beat the odds in surviving and recovering. I sincerely hope she continues to beat the odds to stay off the drugs. She's going to need a lot of therapy and support. We're rooting for her and your family.

This is good news. Now, both your daughter and your family have a mountain to climb. I too am surprised she is able to go directly home. Will she have access to a car to come/go. That would be hard to “allow” her to do as you won’t know where she is going UNLESS you put a tracking device on the car she will be using. That device may give you some peace.
Best of luck to all of you.

Her only issues are memory loss and stamina? Boy, are you in for a surprise. I’ve been thinking about this post and if I were you I wouldn’t be excited she’s coming home. I’d be scared shitless. Unless she gets real hard-core help you’re just waiting for the next time this happens. It sounds like the drug usage problem isn’t being addressed at all.

Sorry to be so blunt but you HAVE to know that this is a possibility if she does not get help. Not via the hospital. As she is and always will be an addict in recovery, she never stopped being in the drug rehab program. Two years sober and she relapsed. Her sponsor has been with her every day since this happened and a plan has already been in place to get her re-started at step one in the drug rehab program. This is good news. Now, both your daughter and your family have a mountain to climb. I too am surprised she is able to go directly home. Will she have access to a car to come/go. That would be hard to “allow” her to do as you won’t know where she is going UNLESS you put a tracking device on the car she will be using. That device may give you some peace. Best of luck to all of you. She is restricted from driving until evaluation determines she's ready and able. She lives with her fiance and we have a network of friends/relatives ready and willing to assist her with any errands/appointments she may need transportation to/from. Her only issues are memory loss and stamina? Boy, are you in for a surprise. I’ve been thinking about this post and if I were you I wouldn’t be excited she’s coming home. I’d be scared shitless. Unless she gets real hard-core help you’re just waiting for the next time this happens. It sounds like the drug usage problem isn’t being addressed at all. Of course those aren't the only issues, simply the only ones the hospital would assist with. She is and always will be an addict in recovery. We have a plan and support in place for that.

I see you as a mom who has gone through something most of us pray never to see. I totally get your joy and thrill at your daughter just coming home. Baby steps I am sure. I also get that with something this personal we don't hear all of the information, and that is perfectly fine. God bless your family and best wishes on your daughter's road to recovery.

After some comments expressing concern that DD's drug addiction isn't being addressed, I feel compelled to respond to that concern here. I understand where you are coming from. Your "normal" is not like most people. You have to take the tiniest steps to feel compelled to move forward each day. You are well aware of what needs to happen, but it helps to celebrate things that are huge to you but other people could not get unless they've been there.

So good to hear that she is home! I know that hypothermia can work miracles. I hope your family takes it one step at a time. It will be hard but a loving, caring family will save her.

mom26 you do not have to justify what you have, or have not posted about here. You know what's going on, and are doing the very best for your daughter. Hang in there!

It is amazing that she is able to walk out of the hospital after reading your updates over the last couple of weeks.
Hugs, as you and your family, especially your DGDs, navigate the road ahead.

It is amazing that she is able to walk out of the hospital after reading your updates over the last couple of weeks. Hugs, as you and your family, especially your DGDs, navigate the road ahead. It truly has been amazing, bc2ca . There was a point around day 9 or so, when she became less 'hazy' and staff started asking her questions. The big question being, "Do you know where you are?" and her answer was always, "In the *bleeping* hospital." (Yeah, she had a potty mouth. Still does.) She very quickly started asking when she could leave the *bleeping* hospital and go home. "When you get better", she was told. "Better" was a vague term but she took on the challenge. I will never forget the moment I saw the change in her eyes. She was going to "get better" in any and all ways and heaven help anyone who got in her way. At one point, a cage bed was ordered for her because she decided to practice walking in her room without help one night. A nurse saw her door close and found DD on her feet, unassisted. That was a big no-no and I fully understand why - DD could have seriously injured herself. Three days after that incident and the nurses that requested a cage bed were walking her out of the hospital. She's our miracle girl and while the road ahead will be hard and has no end to it, I have tremendous faith in her. How can I not?

Awesome news, I know you are well aware of the issues she faces but it’s a miracle she pulled through from what I’ve read. Keeping my fingers crossed for her and your family. I have a nephew I love like a son who is eight months clean. I know the thin line of hope and fear my sister walks Good luck.

I'm so happy your tough girl was able to go home. Just so you know, I never got the impression that her addiction was not being addressed.
Your daughter was strong enough to get herself home. May she find that strength as she battles addiction.
Wishing you all healing as you move forward.
How are your granddaughters?
