Avatar m tn My mom is advising me to join in Edgewood, an addiction treatment center in Toronto. Since it is expensive, I’m confused, but I wonder whether I could handle the withdrawal symptoms. Any advice would be appreciable.
Avatar m tn //www.bellwood.ca/drug-addiction/ ) but I don’t know how to convince my father for the recovery program. I really wanted my old father who used to had fun with us.
Avatar f tn I have spent the last month trying to get into the medical detox program at the center for addiction and mental Heath in Toronto. I'm feeling so frustrated that they are not consistent in returning my phone calls or giving me an admission date. I so badly want to get in and get my life back on track! The waiting is killing me! The longer I wait, the more I use. I could really use some support around hanging on and not giving up on the prospect of going into treatment.
Avatar f tn you could detox yourself but with these large doses it would be best to get your doctor involved and he/she can help you taper off these pills come in smaller doses it would be good to have your doctor involved with a detox of this magnitude...that or a rehab... where all about doing it yourself but there are other issues that come into play here....med help also has a pain management forum google it it might be a better fit for your situation ...
Avatar n tn t either before, but do now. Addiction *****, but we can break this cycle. There is help out there and rehab is not the only option. Have you ever thought about trying N/A or any other aftercare to stay clean. I think the fact you have told people and admitted your problem is a HUGE step and should be very proud of yourself for that. Keeping it a secret keeps us sick. Stick around this is a great support group. Look in the top right of this page.
317822 tn?1223241475 Detox gets you off the drugs safely, and a little of what rehab does. Rehab deals with learning about your addiction and how to live life without drugs. Once you are done with detox, they will help set you up on some continuing aftercare activities. Like an inpatient rehab, or outpatient rehab, a psychiatrist to follow your meds etc. that kind stuff. Hope this helps?
8323481 tn?1405705654 I needed to be safe away from any kind of narcotic and alcohol. I went to Toronto, and found help abounding. I needed to get the toxins and go through the withdrawals in a safe place. I couldn't do it at home alone, having to go to work, feeling so sick. I was cared for wonderfully. I have a strong aftercare program set up with an addictions specialist doctor at a Toronto hospital, as well as an outpatient program at another hospital.
Avatar n tn there is a med for crack addiction, but it does not work very well according to a friend of mine. he had terrible nightmares, and relapsed 2 weeks later , while taking the med. if he really wants to stop, and i mean for real, he needs to check into rehabs. if he doesnt like the idea of an inpatient rehab, have him check into severe outpatient programs... if that doesnt appeal to him, he needs to go to an NA/AA meeting every day for 30 days strait!!
Avatar n tn Has anyone every been to rehab for drug addiction? If so...I would like to chat with you about my nephew who had to be taken to rehab after an overdose of Xanax.
1814148 tn?1332485798 On Sunday night I will be leaving for a 3 month stay in rehab. I can't wait to get there as there is no peace to be found in the life that I'm living now. I wish everyone health and happiness! Take care and I will connect will you all when I get back!
1511199 tn?1292701545 I needed separation from the drugs and lifestyle I was living and rehab offered just that. Got a lot of education on addiction while I was in there, and it gave me an amazing foundation to build upon with AA/NA. I'd recommend it to any addict who has the means to go.
Avatar n tn I was in rehab for the first time in March. Was only there for 2 weeks because I found out I was pregnant about a week into treatment. They tested me when I got there but the results didn't come back until 7 days into treatment. I was already out of detox. So I chose to stay clean and not get back on anything. They wanted to put me back on methadone which is what they used to wean me off the oxy contin.

Avatar f tn it takes you out of the cycle of active addiction and gicve you a chance to get well but in the end you have to withdrawal off the sub the same as any other opiate....there is no ''get out of jail free card'' once your addicted your going to have to face withdrawals to get out of the mess your in....if you dont mind me asking what are you addicted to and how much of it are you taking??......just trying to help ya here....
Avatar f tn I'm not proud to say that I'm addicted to pain pills. And I want to quit. I can't afford rehab. I'm going to start today. I already know that the pain will start what I don't know is how long it will last. I'm taking 4 to 6 percocets a day. Can someone answer this question & help me to get through this?
Avatar m tn I do not know what TALWIN is...do you have any more information? Is it an opiate? I was on opiates and detoxed at home going cold turkey. Welcome to this site and we are here to support you. Please provide any additional info about dosage you are on...
Avatar n tn Are you addicted or just dependent? It will work well for addiction, but the rehab would be a waste of money for a dependency. For instance, my Mom had a Klonopin dependency. She tried to go to the same rehab I went to, but was turned away and told to see an addictionologist. He weened her down and she's never had a problem. I however was an addict, and the detox/rehab worked well for me. The induction process at the rehab should tell you whether detox or detox/rehab is warranted.
Avatar m tn you are in toronto, right? im not sure about the rehab centres around there, but as you know in canada, they are almost all free. i live 5 minutes from one of the largest rehabs in ontario and have lots of info about this place. i think inpatient treatment is the best for you as crack is a bugger to beat, but with this help i know you can do it. i can tell you want this now and im happy to hear that you know you will need help to do this. best of luck to you.
Avatar f tn How many mommies from toronto or GTA??? Maybe we can share stores and other babies info.
Avatar f tn I would say that if you are SERIOUS about wanting to stop and financially IP rehab is an option for you, I would jump on that! Rehab will give you the support and aftercare you need to get through this. Have you looked into a place you would go? Have you made any calls yet? I think youve made the biggest step and thats wanting to stop so congrats on that!
Avatar f tn i agree you need to go to rehab....it wll help you in court. but, more than that you can come out of rehab clean and continue to stay that way. there is great support here but i agree na meetings are good too. good luck and keep us posted.
Avatar m tn I live in Toronto, Canada. The oxy problem is reportably worse in somev U>S. states,but its also in Toronto,Its second to crack-cocaine,but first in the narcotic category.
Avatar m tn It sounds like your husband should be in rehab while getting used to his medication with no cheating. The harsh reality is that by you giving in to his begging, you are enabling him to continue acting out as he is. As it stands, i think you both need a break from each other, and from this problem. I think you should go to an Addictions Therapist so that you can talk about how to not enable your husband. It will help you to have a therapist while you're going through these growing pains.
Avatar f tn http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Addiction-Substance-Abuse/how-do-i-do-rehab/show/1399475?personal_page_id=612523#post_6384057 I think you should speak with your doctor. As I stated before, rehab is not for physical problems or complications you may have and most do not deal with that except on a short-term basis. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Thank you He will be going to a Rehab Monday But they want him 72 hours clean. That first sentence was from my wife. i wake up everyday and take at least 6 hydro tens and thats just breakfast like today (my final day) i took 4 tens and 2 oxy 40s. i wanna get off this **** so bad. i've got some phenagrine, weed, and meds for the bubble guts.
Avatar f tn He will take anything he can get his hands on. He has been in rehab three times in one year. He’s in rehab right now. Rewind to a few months ago... he got a script for gabapentin and abused it. He got high off of abusing it. And he flushed the rest. Last weekend he picked up another bottle of the gabapentin prescribed by his dr outside of his rehab.
Avatar f tn I know ALOT of celebrities have struggled with addiction... Let's talk about them... Maybe you know of some that I don't and vice versa... As we know , not all celebrities who struggled with addiction won.. A few that we lost to the horrible disease AMY WINEHOUSE, MJ, WHITNEY HOUSTON, and many more... Its sad and it just goes to show you that ADDICTION doesn't discriminate!! It affects people from ALL WALKS OF LIKE!
Avatar n tn My daughter is in rehab for pills addiction. I will be able to visit her in another month. She says she will be there for a total of 6 months. She has no money, no belongings, nothing. All was lost when she was forced to go to rehab. My question is: What can I expect when she is released? She says she will have to live on the streets if I don't help her. I tried to help her by paying her rent and giving her spending money but she spent it all on drugs was was evicted.
