You found medication, of your adult daughter, and , just as if you found her birth control pills, a condom stash or a personal vibrator, you handle it with at least the same courtesy you would if you had an adult relative renting and you ‘bumped’ into their personal items.
Consider waiting three days before saying anything to anyone, then ask yourself if you are interested in apologizing & causing discomfort to another who is already possibly strained?

Dear Family Member:     
This suggestion is counter intuitive, however, reality is that you are very much affected by their disease and no one else will take care of you in this difficult season. Too much for most people to go through the loneliness, the frustration, the anger, loss, and anxiety of an increasing disease of addiction in a family member. Start with Al-anon or Families Anonymous and find your own improved hope & direction. As you become calm and happy, less easily baited, he will see himself earlier. Your number one goal has to be to increase your quality of life. Number two ‘desire’ is that he will 'want what you have.' You can put effort in developing hope and recovering from the effects. One option is to research treatment options that are available in his insurance network or appealing in other ways, for the moment when ‘the person with the disease asks about treatment.’ Some keep life insurance policies paid up and practice ‘let go & let god.’ Your answers will be found by you, one day at a time. Sometimes one minute at a time. Be gentle on yourself & your family member; this is a tough deal.
