This is the first study of a non-English speaking country with much lower rates of drug use – yet results are similar – drug use and abuse or dependence is quite heritable,” said lead author Kenneth S.

m Lori and one of my degrees is in counseling with a specialty in drug and alcohol abuse, my other degree is in criminal justice. So, in the past I have worked with lots of alcohol and drug addicts, who were on parole. Your brother has a drug problem. I'm assuming he is age 18 or over? He is only making his pain worse by the use of these two deadly drugs, especially when used in combination.

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 went to the rehabilitation center for alcoholism, and while he was there had a pshyc evaluation and that's when we learned about the bipolar and suicidal/homicidal, plus schizophrenia.

People who currently engage in the illegal use of drugs are not protected under these non-discrimination laws, except that individuals may not be denied health services (including drug rehabilitation) based on their current illegal use of drugs if they are otherwise entitled to those services. People whose use of alcohol or drugs poses a direct threat—a significant risk of substantial harm—to the health or safety of others are not protected.

The school he goes to drug screens him and it has always come back positive for PCP. No other drug screens - the criminal justice system or the hospital's test are positive for anything. Could any of his meds be the reason that he is showing up positive. He is not acting out when he has the positive screens so I have to believe it is the combination or one of the meds but the school believes otherwise. Help!

What will be the best for him....
