what kind of medications are available help people with drug/alcohol addictions?
ive been told theres meds that can help with cravings etc.,i have a freind who was taking a med that blocked the effects of both drugs and alcohol,
Is it illegal for people from rehab to start up their addiction again? Or is that only if the drug is illegal?
I’m talking about alcohol; is drinking after you’ve completed rehab and therapy for it illegal? Or is that only for drugs like crack and marijuana? Or does rehab not even matter at all?
Before even more cunt flaps call me stupid, know this: I don’t do drugs. I don’t know fucking shit about them. Okay? All I know is my mom is drinking again and my friend was wondering if it’s illegal. I saw her at rehab and they were dealing crack there. Crack is illegal just as marijuana is, so I wouldn’t fucking know. Stop yelling at me behind a computer screen because you do drugs and therefore know more about them. Mkay pumpkins?
By the way, if the question’s been answered, what makes you think I’m gonna pick your shit-tastic one?
Also, I wasn’t asking about the fucking marijuana. I just used it as an example for ‘illegal’ drugs. You people just cannot wait to call people stupid on a question site, can you?
Addiction Treatment Center ? One Step Destination for all Alcohol and Drug Addicted People
Addiction may be the most crucial word for those people who have spent a certain time with the curse of it. According to the medical practitioners, alcoholism can result continued consumption of alcoholic drinks without taking into account the personal and social consequences. That’s why an alcohol addict usually indulges himself in various types of alcoholic beverages without thinking of any other factors.
Different forms of alcoholism treatments are available out there, but the best relapse prevention or alcoholism treatment can be found in a treatment center.
Is it wrong for me to not want to help these people in my life with their problems.. read details please?
In Jan. of 2008 I was perhaps an hour away from dieing of an alcohol and klonopin overdose. I was hospitalized for a long time while trying to break my addictions. The withdrawal was awful. I was also using cocaine and percocet but not that specific night. Almost all of my “friends” knew that I was severely struggling with these addictions. My family also knew but we are not close at all. Nobody helped me or gave support, or even came to see me in the hospital. Now, over a year after I’ve been clean these same people come to me with their problems and expect me to help them. I feel bad about it but I really don’t have an interest in helping them. They were not there for me, I don’t feel as though I should be there for them. Am I in the wrong???
Why do people descriminate against smokers?
Don’t get me wrong, I know smoking is unhealthy, many people do not like the smell, and it can make a mess. However, as a smoker, it really bothers me how ignorant so many people are. I’ve had people shoot rather piercing glares at me just for smoking in a parking garage. Maybe I should scream bloody murder everytime someone in the parking garage decides to start up their car, because that also pollutes the air with chemicals that are bad for both the environment and health.
Here’s my take on smoking, as a smoker: yea, I wish I never started. It is expensive, nasty and unhealthy – however it seems to me that people really are dumb. It used to be people smoked because of marketing/advertising, ignorance (who would think inhaling the fumes from a burning substance might be unhealthy), and of course peer pressure. Today people practically go on crusades against smokers for the VERY SAME REASONS! In both cases people really AREN’T thinking for themselves. I find that really pathetic.
Drug/alcohol addiction treated like an illness but food addiction people are just called fat, why is that?
I know people who go to N.A. and A.A. and it is free, 2 of them even receive SSI payments as they are too “addicted” to work. I on the other hand, have a food addiction. I’m morbidly obese because of it, but Weight Watchers meetings charge me money to attend. Drug addicts have clinics they can go to for free medical care, I have to pay to go to gym. Mine addiction I’m told is one I can give up with will power, but they have a “disease”..I want to know why is it different? I am so tired of trying only to be shut down at every try and my health insurance would pay for me to go in rehab, but not for weight loss clinic or program. I feel like I should start being a druggie to get any help!
Let me give you a few details. I care for my 80 yr old mother and my 2 grandkids as their parents are off on drugs somewhere and I only get $335 from state to help pay for their care. I work 2 jobs just to pay bills and 1 of them is at fast food, the other is for insurance office. I cannot afford to buy better insurance and not eligible for state insurance because they say I make too much. By the end of working 14 hours a day M-F and 8 on Sat, plus all the housework, I am just too tired to work out. And there are plenty of free services for bulimia and anorxia, but not for food addition. I’m not making excuses I just want to know why the system is step up this way.
I eat for free at restaurant job and with the amount I earn I have to because the money has to go to pay for rent/utilities and childcare the state only allows me 40hours a week for the 2 kids. My grocery budget for 4 of us is $50 a week, so we eat as cheap as possible and yes that means alot of canned foods and such. People need to get off their high horses and walk a mile in someone elses shoes.
(My Random fun fact of the day) Did you know morphine was invented to rid people of alcoholism!?
Morphine is 10 times more addictive than alcohol! Doctors would give it out to people they felt drank too much. Doctors thought eating it would create cravings so they made the syringe so people could inject it directly into their bloodstream.
So, Then Heroine was invented to get rid of morphine addiction! lmao
Do you believe alot of marriages fail because people stop working on themselves?
Once married, alot of people settle into who they are and their spouse should just “deal with it”. Life is about change, about growing and about compromise with your spouse. I feel alot of people end in divorce because they are not seeing their own failures in taking care of themselves and working on themself. Things such as, not working on your own addictions (alcohol, porn, internet, etc.), not working to communicate effectively, not working to make sound financial decisions. These all take willpower from oneself, not willpower for the sake of your spouse… you are the only person in control of your own decisions and when those decisions are no longer being made from a source with the willpower to grow and do better then they are choices made to contribute to the destruction of your marriage.
Just because you are married, does not mean your whole life is devoted only to love unconditionally… you can do that and still take care of yourself, in fact I think thats the most healthy way to be in a relationship. Its too difficult to be a relationship with someone that does not know how to confront problems, or communicate or anything. No matter who you are with… if you are not with someone that knows they have to figure out how to do that on their own without your constant pressure to make them learn then I believe marriages begin to fall apart.
Rehab For Alcohol Addiction People
Alcohol abuse refers to the chronic consumption and craving for alcohol, so that it interferes in the normal social and economic functioning of the person. Alcohol Rehab tries to treat and bring back to normal victims of this condition.
The alcoholic is unable to stop his craving for drinking. He fails to complete his obligations at work or home. He undertakes activities that are dangerous in his condition, including drunk driving. He may encounter legal problems, and cannot and will not stop drinking despite personal, official and medical problems.
Why don’t people realize that ALCOHOL is a DRUG? The #1 “Gateway Drug”?
Whenever I hear someone anti-drug nut job talking about “Gateway Drugs” they ALWAYS say that Marijuana is the only “Gateway Drug” that Crack and Heroin users started with…
Yet you look at our culture and the #1 DRUG in use is Alcohol… ALCOHOL starts users on the downward spiral into addiction…
You look at US Culture and no event, no gathering, no party exists without alcohol…
