First, in order to get your daughter to communicate with you when she comes back for a visit, try a positive approach so as not to intimidate her. Even if her previous reactions have been disrespectful, choosing a positive warm approach can help in getting her to open up to you as her freedom does not feel threatened in any way. Your unconditional love for your daughter ,despite the reactions which she may have given your disciplining, is beautiful. If your daughter is truly struggling with substance abuse, rehab is a definite must. Try your best to find a suitable program because a drug addiction is not something that a troubled teenager can just snap out of. She will most likely respond to this idea with defiance, but in order to ease your way into getting her to let you help her-- start her out with a warm hug when she enters the door. Don't mention the rehab program as you are still getting her to warm up to żou first. Let her feel the love from you and work slowly from there. Goodluck!
