678756 tn?1228356497 t know too much about the law, but to me, that usually would mean contacting the police department and documenting what happened. Another thing to do would be to contact the local newspaper. Have a story done on what happened. What happened was totally unacceptable. If newspaper won't buy the story, contact a radio station. Man, get the word out, embarrass the hell out of the school and get someone to take action.

Avatar m tn If my wife had given me free room and board, let me be as mean to her as I wanted, and there were no consequences to my drug abuse, I would be dead today. You can ask around here, I am not a bad person or of low moral character, I am an addict. When people say you are enabling your man, it means you are part of his problem. He may blame you, and he may be partially right, because he wouldn't be able to afford as many drugs or have good enough health to get as high as he does without you.

464044 tn?1343702043 2 million Americans (age 12 or older) reported using prescription opioids non-medically in the past month (SAMHSA, 2007). Opioid abuse is so widespread that it accounts for 75% of all prescription drug abuse in the U.S. (Colliver, Kroutil, Dai, & Gfroerer, 2006). In fact, opioid analgesics reportedly cause more deaths nationwide than either heroin or cocaine (Paulozzi, Budnitz, & Xi, 2006). Birnbaum et al. (2006) estimate that the abuse of prescription opioids costs the U.S. $9.
869814 tn?1239720815 I just came off my pain meds and I met a doctor at the hospital I was at that said suboxone is great for substance abuse users. If you are on pain meds on a regular basis. Suboxone might not be the answer. I am writing you with anxiety and the shakes right now...but am very happy I didi not go on the Suboxone!!! It is merely another drug you need to "come off of" It basically stimulates the nuero transmitters into becoming additcted to another drug.
Avatar f tn ” Emergency department physicians nationwide have been reporting a surge in deaths related to abuse of fentanyl, a drug 50 times more potent than heroin when taken intravenously, the federal Centers for Disease Control said in a 2007 report. Federal agencies alarmed at the rise in the drug’s abuse through stolen patches also have reported increases in fentanyl-related deaths. Chapman said he has been learning about the dangers of prescription drug abuse in the time since his son’s death.
Avatar m tn Welcome to our Forum. Your question is not "dumb" by any means. I would urge you to believe the test results you have. your exposure was low risk and your tests, which are VERY reliable, were negative. The headlines and newspaper articles you have read are "spun" to get attention. While they serve to bring attention to emerging problems, they also tend to raise unwarranted concerns. In your case I see no need for further testing or for concern.
