What Should I Do With An Alcoholic?

jtdailyiii@yahoo.com — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:00:00 +0100

I grew up with an alcoholic father, so you would think I'd know

exactly what to do with an alcoholic boyfriend. But I don't. I have

tried getting him to agree to go to alcohol rehab but he insists he

does [...]

Cocaine Drug Rehab

jtdailyiii@yahoo.com — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:00:00 +0100

For example, as a result of using cocaine an addict will usually begin lying and stealing, feeling guilty when coming down off of his/her high and then feeling depression (varying from mild to deep) and then continuing to use drugs as a way out of the depression. The question, then, is this: Does the program include real and thorough methods which address the lying, stealing, guilt and the continued relapse? A 30 day program th [...]

Holistic Treatment Saved Our Daughter From Oxycontin Addiction

jtdailyiii@yahoo.com — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 18:00:00 +0100

We tried just about everything for my daughter's oxycontin addiction. The doctors had her on Methadone and eventually Suboxone but nothing kept her from using. This whole nightmare started after my husband (her father) had knee surgery and was prescribed the drug for pain management. He used only a few of the pills. She was already headed off the rails, and I noticed one afternoon while cleaning tha [...]

Drug Rehab Saved Our Son

jtdailyiii@yahoo.com — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 18:00:00 +0100

I can't put into words how it felt to have my son tell me he hated me.

Or the feeling of doors slammed in my face, cuss words thrown at me,

money disappearing from my wallet... and all of these things at the

Prescription Drug Rehab

jtdailyiii@yahoo.com — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:00:00 +0100

What may begin as a legitimate use of a prescription pain medication for something such as a back injury or dental work, all too often turns into a prescription drug addiction. Many commonly prescribed prescription pain killers are well known to be addictive, but the justification the physician uses is that they will only give a one-time prescription or that if there is a legitimate underlying pain issue that there is no addiction (in other words the person continues to take the pain medicati [...]

Long Term Drug Rehab Saved My Brother

jtdailyiii@yahoo.com — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 18:00:00 +0100

After countless short-term programs claiming "effective rapid detox," and "a lifetime of sobriety," we realized that my brother's heroin addiction, which over 10 years had spiraled out of control, was going to require more than a few weeks to cure.

Our family was torn apart. We tried talking to him, we tried living with him and we tried living without him. We let him go live his life the way he wanted to live it--this is not something I would recommend to [...]

Why Are Holistic Drug Rehabs So Effective?

jtdailyiii@yahoo.com — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 18:00:00 +0100

What is holistic medicine, and is it effective for a drug rehab program? Over the last 50 years, medical professionals have been researching and studying ways to "treat" addiction.

Presently drug and alcohol addiction is looked upon as an incurable medical disease which should be treated with drugs. The typical treatment modality used today in most drug and alcohol rehabs is the 12 Step program. The 12 Step philosophies hold that addiction is an incura [...]

Listening To Your Instinct And Helping Someone You Love (Pt. 1)

corinafroese@gmail.com — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:00:00 +0100

Last summer, I returned home for a long weekend to visit my family and catch up with dear friends. As soon as I saw him, I knew something was different. He was fidgety. He was always fidgety, but this time he was fidgeting at what seemed to be 100 mph. We were all gathered at a small local bar to share a drink in the company of old friends. But he was up and down. In and out. Hot and cold. Jumpy. Instead of talking to me, he seemed to look right through me. My heart broke. Not for the lack [...]

Listening To Your Instincts And Helping Someone You Love (Pt. 2)

corinafroese@gmail.com — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:00:00 +0100

Oh, he was angry. I knew he would be. I was afraid of what his friends would think of me, afraid that they would think I was a ‘tattletale'. We were all so young and worried about the superficial. Yet at the same time we were all so very strong. And we didn't even know it. To my relief, when I told his close friends what I had done that day, they stepped up to help. They spoke with his parents too, and together they devised a plan to attract his attention, and attempt an interve [...]

We Found A Non-12 Step Rehab For Our Son

corinafroese@gmail.com — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 18:00:00 +0100

How does a parent handle and accept the fact that a child you have raised and taken good care of is addicted to drugs?

For me that was the toughest part to go through. Once you can admit and accept this to yourself you are on the way to helping your child.

A parent never wants to thinks this can happen to them and their family, but it does everyday. Society spins so much glamour to our young -- drinking, recreational drugs and hard [...]

Drug and alcohol dependence seems to run in my family. I am the only child out of 7 brothers and sisters who has not fallen prey to drug and alcohol dependence. I want to help my sibling overcome this but, I don't know how to get all of them into drug rehab. Is there a place I could send them that would give me a discount on a drug rehab program for sending multiple person at one time? I don't want to seem greedy but, I just want to get them some help.
The search for a drug rehab program is the [...]

Drug Rehab Center

My father is in prison due to his drug and alcohol dependence and will be getting out next year if he makes it that long. What can I do to get him into a drug rehab center when he gets out on parole? I don't want him to have a drug and alcohol dependence relapse once he is free. If there a drug rehab center that will take him straight from prison?
Looking for a drug rehab center can be exhausting when you are dealing with someone who needs help with addiction. There are so many different types [...]

Drug Rehab

webmaster@drugrehab.org — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:00:00 +0100

Drug and alcohol dependence kept me from living a happy life until I found help through drug rehab. My life was changed one night when I overdosed and woke up in the hospital. The doctor told me if I used again I would probably die because my heart couldn't take it any more. I was scared at that point that I might die because I knew I couldn't stop on my own so I told my parents that I had a drug and alcohol dependence and that I needed help to go into drug rehab. They were surprised that their [...]
