My daughter has been struggling with heroin addiction for two years. Last January she started treatment at the Penn Foundation. There have been ups and downs, but without the help from the Penn Foundation, I dont know if my daughter would even be alive right now. Not only have they provided the help my daughter needs so desparetly, they have helped me stay strong and learn more about this horrible desease. Having a Rehab at Home coach has taken a lot of stress off of me in dealing with this situation. Right now calls are being made and interviews set up for my daughter so that she can move forward into a half way house. Dealing with the anguish of having a child that has an addiction in itself is draining, but thanks to the program, I feel a lot of strain has been lifted from me. Thanks to everyone that has helped with my daughters recovery. I know this a long journey, but just knowing there are people out there that care makes it bearable.

Why cant we fix this addiction ourselves? Why is it a constant fight every step of the way? Why did this happen to my family?
Do these questions sound familiar? If you are reading this then they should. I have spent months trying to fix my girlfriend, taking it all on myself. I can do this. I dont need any help.
My world continued to spiral my world like this is my fault right? Making them stand up and take responsibility for their own disease is the hardest thing to do. It is a family disease because it affects the family but it can only be fixed by them.
My girlfriend has been attempting, in theory, to stop drinking. In retrospect she has just figured out how to be more creative in hiding her addiction. She will only admit it when she is drinking. When she is sober she all of a sudden doesnt have a problem.
Penn Foundation has been so supportive of our whole family. Somehow I know we can make it through this although many times I do not know how.
