You really need to get into a hospital asap. your unborn child is in severe danger and you need to give up meth for good. i can tell that you are a very strong and commited woman, and if you find the help and get off drugs you will not lose your 2 year old. You will be at the top of the list for treatment facilities since you are pregnant.

i commend you for taking charge of your life and wanting to have a healthy baby. giving your baby to a couple for adoption is not basis for losing custody of your other child. i’m not sure what the laws are in whatever state you live, but i would really suggest going to a hospital or treatment facility as soon as you can. congratulations on your first step to a healthy life- i have a feeling you will do great with your treatment!

If I were you I would go with the Suboxone. I do not know about using it when your pregnant but you can always ask a dr.. just call.. I would be hella scard of CPS also if I were you.. here in WA we can get suboxone from a drug clinic in cofendtly.(I cant spell) maybe you can buy it online without any one knowing.. if you tell ur dr they might have to report u. I know I used it for 2 months to withdraw from pills(vics and percs) and I had NO withdraws its works the sceond you take it.. I hope that I have helped

‘Sara’ she is using Heroin, not Meth, there is a HUGE difference. I used methadone to get clean from H, it worked great for me. I started at 100mg a day, it dosnt give you the rush or the extreme high of H, it keeps the withdrawals at bay and makes it so you can actually function. I would recommend getting on a 4 month program or so, you dont want to take it longer then that. They will start you at a dose depending on your daily usage, Sub, and Methadone can both be addictive and I know people who have been on it for years, basically just replaced a habit with a habit and thats not what you want to do. The clinics around here are 100% confidential and once they get to know you, your aloud to get a weeks worth and take it home instead of checking in everyday which can be a huge pain if its far away. Good luck and your headed in the right direction. Stop using, PLEASE your baby is going to be born addicted to heroin.
