Here is a sample of what has been happening all over North America, with drugs like Crystal Methamphetamine: In the month of June, 2003 a mother from New Jersey contacted a counselor about getting help for her Daughter. Our counselor recommended a rehabilitation program and Mom contacted this facility to get information about how to help daughter who was wanting help one day and not the next. Our counselor recommended an intervention and mom went ahead as planned. Mom contacted the facility to get information and then a couple days later called back to ask when she could come to check in. The counselor recommended that she be brought the next morning as daughter was very unstable and was likely to change her mind or even worse. Mom decided she would wait until Tuesday to bring daughter to the facility. On Monday daughter left without telling anyone and went to another state. The counselor from the drug rehab facility tried to contact daughter but was unable to contact her. In Late July, Mom contacted counselor of the rehab facility to inform him that daughter had overdosed, and that she was buried 2 days earlier. Mom was devastated that she had not taken the advice of the counselor to get her daughter to the centre the next day and she said she wanted to make sure that the counselor never gave up on anyone, and as well that she hoped any other family member out there would take the advice of the counselor and act fast so as to prevent the one last hurrah from being a deadly reminder of how real this problem is.
