Common Questions and Answers about Drug rehab for teenagers
rehab
Careful with the dose reduction -- this drug is hard to stop and reducing the dose might be best done gradually. A psychiatrist usually knows these meds better than a regular doc. As for therapy, you should always try therapy and keep trying even if on medication, because meds don't cure the problem but therapy might. That's a tough drug for someone so young -- it's not an easy one for adults.
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.

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.
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...
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.
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!
I am a 33 year old mother of 3 teenagers and married for 16 years. I have a pretty good insurance policy. I have been through state funded rehab for meth in 2003. The place was quite slumish but I did what I had to do. Now however life is quite different. I was sober for 7 years and became addicted to painkillers 4 years ago. It started with the Lortab and now 6 months ago added Adderall into the mix.
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.
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.
After a year of treatment, vitamin D levels went up slightly in the placebo group, and went up slightly more in the normal-dose vitamin D group -- to 16 ng/mL for girls and to 20 ng/mL for boys. That's well below the 30 ng/mL level the U.S. National Institutes of Health states may be desirable for overall health and disease prevention.
But kids who got 2,000 IU/day vitamin D3 saw their vitamin D levels soar -- to 38 ng/mL for girls and to 35 ng/mL for boys.
personaly i agree with you about the sub, but if he is coming off methadone , perhaps is ok, and in detox he will be doing the sub program, it is right hes still taking the xanax, it shouldnt be done cold turkey, in rehab they are going to use sub for that, and you have to be in withdrawal to start it, so that maybe why they havent given it to him, he is going to be snappy etc, the withdrawals are making him like that, so dont take it too personally,
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.
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?
My son who is in a drug court program is drug tested every thursday. It's always a urine test but was given a saliva test a few weeks ago and it showed a trace of oxycodone. He has been clean over 500 days and is adamant about it being a mistake. He had a hair follicle test performed but the court won't accept it because it supposedly only shows chronic use, not a one time use.
Needing to go and WANTING to go are two different things...do you want to get clean and stay clean? Having a plan for after rehab is crucial to you staying clean. I was taking up to 10-15 10/325 Norco a day. Then I found heroin. Bad choice. My last using day of anything was feb 14th. And I was using pills for 4 yrs and heroin for 2yrs. I have 73 days clean and I didn't go to rehab. BUT I did change anything and everything that made me want to use.
Now we have had her in a rehab center for 3 weeks and she has been detoxed and sober now for over a week. The real work and therapy has begun. The doctors say there is a big difference between sober and recovered. We have spent countless hours in family therapy and learning how to change things when she gets out so that nothing can cause one of her triggers to make her want to take again. This has been the hardest thing our family has done but we decided that she was worth every effort.
SERIOUS help. Is rehab (a treatment-center) an option for him? If not, at the very least, he needs to get himself to a hospital so he can detox all the b/s out of his system before it KILLS him.
Mixing all of the things you mention is a killer combination, as Tramahater indicated. Ticking time-bomb to say the least...
Keep us posted...
i have never heard of someone taking this for taking the edge off when quitting coke. although they have tested a new drug for cocaine addiction, it has not been approved by the fda yet. i used for coke for 5 years very heavily and went c/t as the physical w/d's from coke are so minimul, but it is the mental part that is devastaing. have you tried n/a meetings, counselling. quitting this drug is a devil to quit and as of now, there is now pill that will help as i know of.
I have been addicted to pain killers for 6+ years. I've decided that enough is enough & I can't continue to live like this anymore. I am 3 days clean & currently going through withdrawls. I can not afford rehab, or have anyone to care for my children if I could afford to go. I don't know if wanting to quit & change my life is enough for me to kick this. My husband knows about my addiction, I went to him for help. He doesn't understand why I can't just stop.
