help my mum off crack/methadone

[hopefullgal]

my mum has been doing crack for years now i recently found methadone in her draw but she doesnt no i did, i asked her if she did heroin but she said no.
she has asked for mine n my sister help to quit and we start on friday morning we stay will her at her house while she takes "sleepers" as she spends most of the day sleeping this will help her to come off the crack

we give her supplements like omega 3 vit c multi vits antioxidants and amnio acid when she is awake,

we take it in turns over the course of 6 days as we cant get much time off work coming up to x mass.

im really scared about doing it ive tried to research it but nothing, this is the only way she will do it as she wont go to rehab
please help and giv me as much advise as possible as this has torn our family apart for as long as i can remember,
she doesnt have a job as all she does it sleep wiv men for money in her home to pay for her adiction i need this all to end

I'm not sure if you do use the spoons for crack. Maybe you can.
I used to do crack through a pipe. Maybe TrayCee will be able to help you with that.

I think crack has more psychological symptoms than physical when withdrawing from it.

[hopefullgal]

but no needles tho....???
i havent seen any signs of injecting herself
dont u just use the spoons for burning crack
i just need advice on how to help her quit she wants to but i no she isnt being truthfull about it all

[lostdreams]

Sweety, i am sorry yo uhave to go through this with your mother. You shouldnt have to deal with this, but its nice to 'see' you trying to stick by her.
TrayCee is right thiugh, you mom really has to want to do this herself.

I think Tin foil and spoons are more associated with heroin IMO.
I was a heroin addict for many many years and i ALWAYS had tinfoil and spoons about.

I wish you and your family well.

she says its nother that she gets it for someone who is 73 and cant go to the drug clinic coz his daughter works there, thats gotta be a lie i only found out she had hold of the stuff on friday when i was rooting in her draws, i found tin foil spoons some sort of bong she always seems to have a lot of straws at home, like from mc donalds or the ones that contain coloured sugar

she is still smoking it but on friday me n my sister are gonna sit with her while she comes down

[TrayCee]

you need to find out if shes been taking the methadone, how much, what mg and for how long

[TrayCee]

She WILL NOT get any WITHDRAWALS from stopping crack.  

how long since the last time she smoked?

You can help her by not letting buy anymore rock...  Like I said before though, if she doesnt want to quit then theres nothing anyone can do to help

[hopefullgal]

also if she is going to be taking sleeping tablets to help how much should she take and what kind?

[hopefullgal]

what withdrawals can she get?
how can i help her in the first couple of days
she is he most stuborn person u will ever meet, im scared she wil kick me out of her house half way through and start again. she is also the best liar

[TrayCee]

she may not want to go without the crack, but she will NOT get sick without it.  I smoked almost everyday for over 2 years.  The only way to quit is to want to. You cannot make her quit and you cannot quit for her.  The most important part is to cut all ties with anyone who can get it for her.  I moved away, changed my phone and threw everyones number who smoked or could get it for me.  IMO yall should be more worried about the withdrawals from the methadone.  If shes even taking any...

[hopefullgal]

i dont know she doesnt no i saw it in her draw,
what is to be expected while i watch over her come down she says she can only go a few hours without crack

[TrayCee]

There are no physical withdrawals coming off crack however Methadone is a very different story.  What mg is she taking?  It could be very dangerous.
