No matter how far down the scale you think that your son or your daughter has fallen, don't give up, and don't give up that hope.
Imagine doing ecstasy just four times and ending up in a coma for two months. That's exactly what happened to Aisha, one of the brave guests on this episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom'.

Doctors were ready to give up, but her parents' determination kept her alive. Now in her twenties, Aisha shares her story to warn others about the dangers of drug use.
