Common Questions and Answers about Alcohol rehab help
rehab
Detoxing off of alcohol cold turkey can be very dangerous if the person has developed a profound dependance on alcohol. There can be very very serious, even life-threatening withdrawl symptoms.
If he's at the point where he's puking from withdrawl it may not be safe for him to detox on his own. I would seriously SERIOUSLY consider having him detox in a hospital or rehab center. Not only will they treat his physical state so he can detox safely, they'll help treat his alcoholism.
The pain in the right side is from gall bladder inflammation. The pain on the left is pancreatic inflammation. These are serious warning signs of advanced alcoholic damage. If you don't stop drinking completely you will end up dead.
my 51 year old son is currently on a 100 per day mg menthodone program and has relapsed on alcohol - he is sober now and is planning to detox at the menthodone clinic and get in a 9 month rehab facility - they (the rehab ) do not use any drugs for detox and my son says he cannot stand nothing from 100 mg - do you think this will work?
Alcohol and ANY medications is bad. Alcohol puts stress on all your organs and primarily your liver and kidneys...most medications are cleared through either your liver or your kidneys. Bad mix. You probably need to go to a Detox facility where you can be monitored and given the appropriate meds to help you get off the alcohol.
I do not believe that taking him to a rehab facility would mean he would get in trouble at all. I am currently in an outpatient rehab, and I have told them some terrible things that I did to get my DOC (drug of choice), but they did not tell on me to anyone. I don't think any rehabs do that.
It is my understanding that outpatient rehabs are more affordable than inpatient rehabs. I have just recently been told about and am researching rehab scholarships.
Help..I'm on day 2 from going cold turkey from heavy alcohol abuse. How long will the anxiosness n sweats last?
I have a brother who is 28 years old who is addicted to alcohol and I believe meth and marajuana. He has been doing this since he was a teenager. We were not raised in drugs and alcohol. He doesn't think he has a problem. Then he says it's too late for him. My parents are just now coming to realize that he does have problem. He is now getting in trouble with the law. I have begged him to get help, my mother and father have begged him, but he refuses.
I would try to go the detox/rehab route because of the combination of the drugs and alcohol. A focused intervention with a drug counselor could be set up with a trip to detox immediately. Look in your phone book for drug/alcohol assistance. It is usually in the front pages in a special services section.
She is in heavy denial and needs to be approached with a worked out strategic plan. Good Luck. Ask for lots of help.
These combo of drugs is bad bad bad. I hope he goes to see a dr and also gets the help he needs with rehab etc, there is help out there. As far as the crystal meth goes, that is one of the most addictive drugs and many don't come back from it. I am glad you want to help him, but he has to want to help himself, first and foremost. Keep us updated and I wish you both the best. Please take care of yourself.
Have you ever heard of alanon?
t just serve time and get released without the help she needs. Still drugs and alcohol doesn’t excuse any crime committed so sentencing may still be necessary. Good luck to you and I hope the best for your granddaughter. Do the best you can to let her know that your there for her through all of this. She may really need the support.
Hello Mustang. Call your doctor who first detoxed you. You didn't mention if you're alcoholic, but alcoholism is a disease, not a social problem. Relapse is common with the disease and I'm sure your doctor will understand. Don't worry, they just want to help us. It's what they got in the business for.
As far as my story goes; l stay sober by going to AA. I surround myself in the atmosphere of recovery with other alcoholics. I could never do it alone.
when i called them last year, when i started my search to become clean, they told me just show up, with your bag,(shampoo, deodarant, lotion, pjs) and they wont turn you away. they will help him at least to detox off the drugs/alcohol. they will keep him about 3 -5 days, but he will need more treatment than that, that will only be the beginning, he must follow up with aftercare. But also as someone else mentioned above, if he does not want to get clean, there wont be too much, you can do.
m 5 years clean from alcohol now. It was hard in the begging but I had help from my Dr. My doctor prescribed me Librium (Chlordiazepoxide) and a drug called campral. The camoral helps to take away the cravings for alcohol and it worked for me, but everyone is different and what worked for me may not work for everyone.
Well I leave Thursdays to do an inpatient detox and rehab. After several surgeries I became dependent on oxycodone 15mg 5xday. When I first realized I was addicted I tried to ct and ended up passing out due to my Bp dropping. Then I decided to taper but my dr stopped that as well because they said I needed to have a 3rd back surgery even tho my last one was in April. I'm not walking correctly, kinda hunched over.
I tried to get into a rehab but was turned away. I detoxed with the help of friends, enrolled in an IOP and went to mtgs. I still go to mtgs and stay active in AA. I have a sponsor and I sponsor others. For me it's not so much about where I go it's about what I do with the stuff I learn from being where I'm at.
I did not really like alcohol in my teens and twenties. During my thirties I discovered wine coolers and progressed to wine, but never more than three glasses, certainly not on a daily basis. Then followed divorce, nursing school, and I drank wine as a reward after studies over. I think I really escalated after graduation when I got my first job and could afford more and also when my children were gone to college.
I am now remarried to a great guy who does not drink at all.
