Common Questions and Answers about Drug rehab for nurses

rehab

Avatar f tn Momma is just sore and a few bumps and bruises. Any nurses out there work home health and how long did you work for before your due date? After this fall I'm afraid.
Avatar n tn My advice to you would be to move your dad to another nursing home that does not have a policy of chemical restraint. If that isn't feasible forbid the use of all antipsychotics; not just risperidol. When my husband, who has Parkinson's, was hospitalized for 3 months due to a ruptured gallbladder I spent every waking hour trying to keep his recuperation on track.
Avatar m tn s still on drugs and now we have been advice to write a afidavit in which we plead for the judge to send them both for a full rehab program, for both of them pose a danger to us, their daughter and themselves and we do not know how to go about it, is there perhaps somebody who are able to assist us. Thank you. Amanda.
Avatar m tn Once they grab a hold of you, you are no longer a nurse under some protective covering. You are now a human being controlled by the drug. As for her coworkers, opiate users are highly functional. Sometimes performing at better than average. They could have had no idea. As for you, my husband is a doctor and didn't know. Try to let go as you can of her being a nurse, her coworkers should have known, you should have done more...
Avatar f tn i agree with them . whatever happens in the future, if you go to rehab will be better for you, it's not a matter of ct or not, you need probes of your determination too. don't punish yourself more and start looking for help and a place to rehab. .... you'll feel much better once you have taken those steps and you're the first who has to look for and find the end of the tunnel.
Avatar m tn WOW 6 80s a day thats quite a habit...I dont understand if you told them at the drug rehab you shooting them up there would be no question of abuse something dosent sound right here...well there are 2 avenues to take here if you still got a bunch left you could taper off some and get down to a lower dose then jump off and hang on the withdrawals are doable but no fun....plan 2 is just to jump off C/T and bit the bullet you will be sick for a week but you will not dye from it...
Avatar f tn say he is not allowed to see his child till you know for 100% fact he is clean! Check into rehab or have him pay for a test every 3 days and make him give it to you.. Make him work for it!! Meth is expensive if he can afford to buy it then he can afford to pay for a drug test every 3 days to give to you so he can see his baby...
Avatar f tn I think the family needs some good advice and support from a drug counselor. Things seem very out of control and there are many ways to leverage her into rehab. (For example temporary custody of the children. Etc.) Time for tough love. and ultimatums. 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.
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.
Avatar f tn I have recently learned that my spouse is shooting up his prescription pain pills. He has admitted that he has a problem and wants to enter into rehab to get help with his addiction but he is scare and worried that because he is a nurse that he will be reported to the state and lose his nurses license. Can anyone please help me and let me know if this is in fact something that can happen to someone who is trying to get help?
983679 tn?1276833336 i refuse the meth or sub thing though, i am not gona trade one drug for anouther. i feel that before i make the decission tomorrow i am gona give this cold turkey try one more. tomorrow is my day 3 , i think i can do it. I KNOW I CAN. i quit crystal meth 5 years ago on my own cold turkey after a long use and even shoting up, i know i can do this, i feel my eyes have been opened tonight, i dont just want to try and quit , i want to quit, and i am goin to.
Avatar m tn d on a meth/cialis combo. I would really like to have an intervention for Dave. Tom is unsure if drug rehab is appropriate because it's less obvious that the drugs are the real issue especially since he doesn't do them ALL the time (except for weed). He thinks he needs an actual mental health facility, rather than rehab. What WOULD be the most appropriate setting for my brother to receive help? Thank you!
Avatar f tn Hi mjui. It sounds like you are putting a lot pressure on yourself to get your son to continue his therapy after he gets out of rehab. I completely understand how you feel, but this is a decision that your son will have to make. I truly hope that he will change his mind and continue his therapy. Have you asked him why he no longer wants to continue therapy? Is there a reason why he is so anxious? I can understand that he would have some anxiety, but it sounds like his anxiety is severe.
Avatar m tn He was out for 1 hour and passed his drug test.He does not like rehab and to be honest i thought he would have left by now.But he is so determind to be drug free ,im proud of him as i always thought the worst would happen to James .He finds the meetins hard and to open up but i think that will come in time.Frank says its got to come from James and will eventually come. James will be 1 week clean tomorrow.And over the worst of physical w/dsHe still feels agitated when pushed.
Avatar m tn The fifth occured about 4 weeks following discharge after standing at at counter in a store and the sixth after light exercise for thirty minutes in cardiac rehab. Each time the symptoms have been the following. Light headedness, dizzy, a little nausea some sweating.
Avatar f tn My dad is on lovenex now and wondered if people have any advice for rehab for someone this old?
947931 tn?1251495088 My son got out of rehab on a 18 day program on thursday ...On friday he went to outpatient rehab & went & got lunch ..Per his request he had me drug test him & he was positive for opiates ..He was in shock & swears he never used ....He never went any where & there were no drugs in his room..... How is this possible ? Is it possibe that using alot of oxies for a many years make a difference? ..or is he just out right Lying & he did use .......... Any ideas ..
Avatar m tn So, you’re right to look for cheap rehab centers. You don’t have to break into a bank or go broke in the name of getting off drug and alcohol addiction.
Avatar m tn I think im getting the whole paws thing all over again. Thank you all for you support I might not be able to talk for a while when in rehab . The hardest thing will be leaving kim bhind i love kim so much..
402205 tn?1230481005 I have a question for the nurses. I jammed my pinky finger somehow on Saturday. Its really swollen and hurts around the knuckle. Should I just tape it to the ring finger and let it heal? It feels a little better that way. I just don't feel like going to the doctor?

Avatar m tn he has been in and out of rehab and is currently in rehab for 65 days. he was clean for 2 years somewhere in the 13 years of use but obviously relapsed. he steals my car money and other items to trade for crack, he seems to find these items even tho i hide them. he stays gone for hours to days at a time. it is emotionaly physically and financialy draining me. our sex life is a joke he will not have sex with me when he binges which is becoming atleast once a week.
Avatar n tn My brother is addicted to drugs and is unable to stop on his own, the drugs are hard core. He has gone to jail several times for having drug paraphanalia. He comes before a judge again the end of the month. Can you suggest the best way to write a letter to the judge asking him to rmandate that he goes to a ************** program?
Avatar f tn I hate when Dr's an nurses tell you not to freak out because that just makes me freak out! Ugh I just wanna go home...
