Hi.
My daughter is in recovery and seeking a sober-living house.
She is out of work right now -- just finished an inpatient program. I am trying to stop "rescuing."
BUT...
Does anyone know of a very low cost group home for women in recovery?
Thanks.
Hi and welcome to the site. I know that most states have programs on a sliding scale. Did her inpatient program offer any suggestions? Does she attend meetings? Word of mouth is a great way to find places. There's a directory here on site. Don't know if there's any place there that might appeal.
I hope she's doing ok right now. And remember to take care of you too. Don't enable her, let her find her way. She needs to be given responsibility. Do you attend any meetings for yourself? You might want to try that. Let us know how it goes.
today is the next step in the journey......paw
Thank you for your help and wise words. I struggle with the enabling/rescuing thing. It's difficult.
I've been attending Alanon, but my daughter is a drug addict not alcoholic. I've still found it helpful. Do you have a different suggestion?
Thanks again...T
There's Alanon, Naranon, CoDA, and Families Anonymous. They all will help. Even drug addicts sometimes attend AA rather than NA. It's all in the preference. The end result is the same. Teaching you how to set boundaries, standing your ground and knowing when to, (as MikeF so eloquently puts it), detach with love.
Try calling the your local hospital, clergy, social services, and I always recommend the local sheriff's office, (some don't want to for obvious reasons), for a place. I don't think it's necessary to give your name to ask a question.
I'm so glad you have some place to go for support. We may be addicted to different things, ie: alcohol, drugs in different forms, food, etc, but the feelings are all the same. Hang in there. Remember you're worth it......
Welcome to the site.
PAW had a lot of good recommendations. I would also recommend trying to find a therapist or a drug counselor who can make a referral for you. They may be able to do some research for you at a low cost, or even no cost.
Go to meetings for yourself and encourage your daughter to stay active in recovery. There are a lot of opportunities out there for her, and she needs a lot of structure/support.
Glad you found us. Keep coming back. Clint
