In my own opinion, and I don't play a doctor / counselor on TV either: get the best possible group of people, not overwhelming, and just do the most painful, heartfelt shit you could ever imagine to save that life. Don't know what else to say, but good will. Anyway. .......

As for the 2nd part of your post (about getting everybody together), we've done that already but the problem is that none of us have ever been in that position so we're just sitting around discussing all options and well... basically just talking out our asses since none of us have the experience required to know how to handle it. More than one drug counsellor has been contacted and they each have something different to say about the approach that should be taken. And that is exactly why I came here - hoping to hear based on personal experience from anybody who has already been there. I know there are a lot of people here who have been there, or very close to it, and nobody knows better than people who have dealt with it personally.
