Robert R asked:

I watch Intervention on TV, and it amazes me that people with drug and alcohol problems are given the choice to go to rehab…..Obviously these people are not in their right mind…..so why do they get the choice? I am not saying food addictions or smoking should lead to your rights being taken away, but drugs and alcohol alter a persons mind to the point where I believe they can not be considered competent to make choices.

caitlin lb asked:

My mom has heard of buprenorphine and it seems as if this is more appealing than methadone when it comes to the treatment of heroin addiction. My dad has gotten himself addicted to heroin and we really need to put him in a drug rehab. This has got to happen soon because my mom, as well as my siblings, are really having a hard time. It hurts us so much to see our dad suffer like this.

Dionyus asked:

following arms and weapon sales. Shouldn’t our “representatives” be proposing the legalization of all drugs, and the tax, regulation, sale of all natural plants just like alcohol… for instance you could go to the weed store and buy pot and magic mushrooms. Soft drugs which are less harmful than alcohol if you go do your homework.

For the hard drugs like cocaine and heroin I believe addiction should be treated as a medical condition instead of criminal condition and that addicts should be able to receive a sufficient supply from their doctors and also have real drug treatment availible for these people if they so desire.

Not only would the legalization of drugs be the humane and honest thing to do, it would also take the profits out of the hands of violent criminals, and open totally new avenues of business. The current policies do more harm than good and fund corruption and violent organized crime.

If you really want to “save” the country, and get the nation back on a sound fiscal economic course this is better than anything these politicians who merely support the status quo with their failed policies.

Freedom and Enlightenment for all.
What do you propose Jessica? More of the same old failed stone age policies?
Fact is the economy could be vibrant and strong, but your politicians make too much money off illegal drugs and organized crime. Not only that your failed policies have done nothing at all to decrease drug use or the supply of drugs to those that want them. Your policies fund gangs, organized crime, and corrupt politicians.
Killer Queen, you’d have to eat like 640lbs of what’s commonly known as the magic mushroom to reach a toxic level. Go do your homework before you make idiotic statements… true certain kinds of mushrooms can kill you outright, but that’s not what they want.
You can not agree with it all you want, but I’ve yet to see anyone come up with a logical rational alternative, or show that the current policies are working. We’ve tried your way, and Prohibition doesn’t work. It didn’t work in the 1920’s and it doesn’t work in 2008.
I also support legalized and regulated prostitution. It has nothing to do with me wanting a prostitute. I also assure you I’m not on drugs nor addicted to anything, but I’m no choir boy I’ll admit that.
FugQ2, I know all kinds of people in all levels of society who have or do smoke marijuana. Even Obama admits to inhaling frequently and even though I don’t agree with the politics of either party he’s obviously a very driven person.
Weird Wendell, the taxation of legal drugs would more than fund treatment for hard drug users, and it wouldn’t cost much to prescribe them their junk if that’s all they wanted.

I agree with you on about people that would kill themselves on drugs, it’s not like we don’t already have enough stupid people in the country. If that’s their goal, let them do it. If you like drug gangs, political and police corruption, and paying $30k+ a year on average to lock people up for smoking a plant, then you need to start funding your own insane policies.

?grundle goat? asked:

my girlfriend was convicted for possession of meth 7 years ago. she did some time in prison and finished a 2 year treatment program for substance abuse. she has been clean and sober now over 6 years and currently works as a residential technician at a treatment facility. she very much wants to go back to school and become a certified counselor specializing in addiction issues. she has turned her life completely around and wants to invest all of her time and knowledge into helping other addicts find recovery. what are the steps she should take to become a drug and alcohol counselor? is there a specific course outline to become one?
thanks in advance.

there is no need for negative comments concerning her past. i just want to be able to help her get into school to pursue what she calls her ‘mission in life’ to help other addicts.

TD asked:

My boyfriend has been taking methadone for pain pill addiction since Nov 2007. He has transfered clinics and I am glad he has because the first clinic was a joke they gave you as much as you wanted even if you would fail the drug tests. This new clinic as far as he tells it won’t allow you to go over a certain dose and you can’t keep failing the drug tests. What I am wondering is does anyone know if methodone makes people go go go and then crash or make people believe that everyone is against them and very irritable? Sometimes I feel like I am walking on eggshells anytime I open my mouth. Please does anyone have any insight?

I’ve been going thru treatment for a small addiction to marijuana and would like to start looking for a job very soon, but I want to be sure the THC is out of my system before applying to any organization that drug tests. My metobolic rate is extremely high and I have very little body fat for the chemical to be stored so I’m just curious if there is any health org. that will offer a drug screen.

antonia_deamicis asked:

I have a 19 year old son that has been taking most everything he can get his hands on for 7-8 months now. He says he has no addiction, just likes to “experiment” and when he isn’t on anything he’s too depressed to deal with life. I am scared to death that I will be burying him one day. The biggest issue right now, he is INSANE when he’s straight. He has no off switch at all, and talks and talks and talks so endlessly about all of his knowledge and opinions on everything that I can’t have a single thought of my own in my head because he will NOT SHUT UP! I feel desperate to get him into in patient, he is doing outpatient right now, it’s not enough. Thoughts from people who have gone through inpatient or have walked a loved one through it?

duppypog asked:

I have finally made the long overdue decision to seek help for my addiction. Thus far, I’ve officially inquired about only 1 facility, after checking my insurance, they said it didn’t cover much and pretty much said good luck. I know that my insurance covers up to 7,800 for IP chemical dependency, is that not a lot to work with? I don’t need super fancy, but would like to find one w/ a good reputation that is also somewhat aesthetically pleasing. Are there any organizations that are able to point me in the right direction of prospective treatment centers that best suite my needs, financially and mentally. Due to the severity, AA meetings and/or OP treatment would not be enough initally. I need a complete change of environment and lifestyle. Also, I know that I’ve got other psychological issues to deal with and just quitting won’t be enough, but am aware that it is forefront. Do they even have concurrent programs of that nature? Help, I need a treatment center match-maker!
Thanks everyone. I like the idea of going out of the country but that may be a bit unrealistic for myself. I can’t afford that and I doubt that’s part of the out of network provision. My insurance is through an airline so ya never, but I doubt it.
I will have to google Narconon b/c I have no idea what that is. I’m going to check out the intervention sight and ironically that’s what made me think of a treatment matchmaker. I really thought that admitting this shameful, embarrassing defect would be the toughest part, but I was wrong. I just cannot bare the thought of asking my recently retired parents to spend such a significant amount of money for something that is not even guaranteed. Also, they say those closest usually know and I believe they do to a certain degree but I’ve gone to extraordinary length to hide this. My parents would be so embarrassed and ashamed of me, so I would rather not get them involved.
