If you had a friend who's hooked on pain pills and they were unwilling to either admit their problem or get treatment, what would you do?  I'm 100% sure about it.

not much you can do when they won't admit it.  it's just like being addicted to alcohol.  Unless the person wants help...not a lot someone else can do.  I know it sounds awful...but the best thing is to tell them that unless they admit their habit and get help...then the friendship will suffer.

At this point, I don't think she'd care.  It's all about the pills.  I know she has a problem, so there's no need for her to admit it to me.  I know her drug dealer and I know how many pills she's consumed in the past two weeks.  That's how I found out about it.  It's staggering!

You can do an intervention, but you will possibly lose the friendship. She has to be pretty bad off. Call your local hospital and see what it takes and what they require to allow it. Also, call the local chapter of AA for help. They might send someone to talk to them ~ people listen better, sometimes, to someone who has been there.

The friend who was getting her the pills is talking to her today.  She's been there, so she knows what to say.  I don't have a lot of hope that she'll do anything willingly.  We'll see.

Thanks, CF!

She says she's going to tell her husband tonight and get treatment.  I hope she actually follows through with it.

That is all we can do is hope and pray she does.
