rehab

Avatar f tn It is said that what one doesn't know, will not hurt them. There is so much truth to that. At 10:00am on 8-5-18 I found drug paphanelia in my car in my wifes makeup bag. Spoon, pill cases, baggies, a metal holliw rod. I haven't disected the bag further, as my wife was home and extremely irritated. I watched her search endlessly for this thing. She can't ask me if I found it obviously. That would usurp the denial about drug use that she is so adimate about.

299889 tn?1257339377 Hey there. Rehab vs In Home is a personal decision with no right answer. However, drug use vs clean has a definite right answer! That said, any way you get there is the right way for you. The process will suck, but (trust me) its well worth it. Power & prayers for ya!
Avatar m tn Had he wanted to be drug / prison free he could have gone to rehab and gotten his life together and treated his own disease (hcv). It was not anybody elses responsiblity to do so. It was his and like most repeat offenders - the ending was sad but not unexpected. MANY men even use jail as a home in the winter. For food, clothing and a place to sleep.
Avatar f tn My boyfriend is a 'recovering' heroin addict. He went to prison for a few months for a heroin related incident and was forced to get clean. He had been in and out of rehab before getting locked up with no success in kicking this addiction. Since being home from prison, he swears he will never use again. At first, I believed he was done. Recently though, I have noticed symptoms of drug use. While these symptoms are not near as apparent as before, I still believe he is doing something.

1530342 tn?1405016490 She was jailed again in September, but was granted bail after only 15 hours behind bars and subsequently checked into rehab for drug addiction, a course she completed in January.

Avatar m tn I was watching a TV show about prison life and just about every felon had tattoos. I would venture to guess many of these are done while in prison with unsterile items. I wonder if anyone knew the stats of what the percentage of people in prison who have HepC is? Do they even test inmates for HepC? It's just that I don't think they know what it can can do to them. Is HepC treatment readily available to them?

3763041 tn?1354906251 t quit, He has nobody his mother died of a drug overdose his dad died of cancer and his brother is in prison but he still doesn't want to quit. So your husband has to want to quit before anything will help him.
Avatar n tn I have reached a point where I must let my 29 yr old son go; I can do nothing to stop his self-destructiveness & any attempts on my part are met w/ near-violent hostility, denials, excuses, and placement of blame on everything & everyone except himself. He has been in every possible rehab program since age 14, & has spent most of his 20's in prison for drug-related crimes.
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 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 m tn i love my girlfriend though she has been a drug addict. she is now in prison and vows to get clean. I have always been there for her doing what nice guys do. As she was on drugs you can imagine the hell i've been through with her. She has had a couple failed relapses but to be quite honest she tells me she was never quite ready to quit but she has now seen the error of her ways now that she has mixed with drug addicts in prison.
Avatar f tn The latest annual National Drug Threat Assessment, released in February by the Justice Department, said prison gangs were operating in all 50 states and were increasing their influence over drug trafficking along the U.S.-Mexico border. Federal authorities have documented numerous links between most of the major U.S. prison gangs and Mexican drug trafficking organizations.
Avatar m tn They helped me find the right rehab for me. I understand what daisy is saying, a heroin addict I met in rehab explained to me that the proccess of shooting up was almost as addictive as the drugs. You are not alone, we are all addicts and here to listen, and many are in recovery and can give you great advice. Do you have a dr you can see? Where I'm at, there are rehab's with waiting lists, but there are many that can get you in same day.

Avatar f tn I don't know how true it is how easy to get drugs behind bars or try to get a buzz off of mixing things that can be bought in commisary. Its not his first stint being locked up. I can't trust him that he won't use the money to keep in touch with his drug buddies. Would you consider putting money in commisary enabling knowing theyre an addict? I could really use advice on this. I know he can only help himself and the less enables, the better.
Avatar m tn I been to prison for shooting her dealer and she lost kids and everything cause this so i refuse to give up on her n im really trying so whats out there that can help besides clinics or rehap....
Avatar n tn Less than 5 months after I got home from rehab-one, I was off to rehab-two. That time I stayed for exactly 4 months . . . June 7 to October 7 . . . and it was what I needed. It was a safe place where my mind and soul could take the time that was needed to heal.
