t know about your area, but the ones in my area are located in alot of the AA buildings. It would help you out to be educated on addiction, and others will be able to offer advice from experience. I can't speak from your point of view, but I hurt many people and never realized it until I became sober. Our minds our so clouded up during use that we don't realize how negatively we affect others. I've been sober close to a year, and I'm still trying to correct all my past mistakes.

To address the physical and psychological symptoms as well as the issue of addiction itself, it may help if you can enter a drug treatment facility, talk to a recovery coach and go through the behavioral therapy. there are also medication that will be administered to address your health concerns.

Sign into the hospital or drug rehab they will help it's gonna be hard but don't think about ur self think about that blessing God has given u if this baby can't make u stop then maybe nothing can get help before you hurt your baby I have had friends addicted to drugs I'm an ex drug addict 4 1/2 yrs clean u can do it I will be praying for you and hope u make the right choice God bless you

Right now, I believe that I need to take these medications to get through the pain day to day, but I am trying to learn how to take only what I really, really need. Why are you taking these anyway? How long have you been taking that many for? Let's take it day by day, moment by moment, and pray. Looking forward to hearing from you.

ca/drug-addiction/ ) but I don’t know how to convince my father for the recovery program. I really wanted my old father who used to had fun with us.

It was given out like aspirin. It is very unfortunate that it became a schedule one drug, with the drug enforcement administration tracking down phjysicians who prescribe it. Valium does degrade situational awareness as well as intellectual acuity, and may interfere with driving safety, although that is more of a problem for the first time user. I have used it (prescribed by a physician) rarely, when under extreme stress, and then only for a day or two, and never became addicted.

Addiction is categorzied by maladaptive behavior that is typically out of character for the person, including doing things that are harmful, without any regard for the consequences, in order to get the drug. Addiction includes mental cravings for the meds, where dependency is almost always just physical in nature. It's important for you to determine which category you would fit into, if indeed this is even a concern for you.

My girlfriend for the past 2/3 months is continually snorting and touching her nose, and she says it's allergy. she refuses to take medications or visit a doctor. she also often gets serious pains on her chest. she used to sleep very little 4/5 hours, but now she sleeps a lot. 10/11 hours.

The difference between help for dependency and help for addiction is that addiction recovery for one is life long...a person who is dependent doesn't usually need any long term follow up after their w/d process is complete. Addicts need aftercare, which can come in the form of private addiction counseling, or AA/NA, those kinds of things. A person who is dependent will walk away after being detoxed, not really thinking about the med anymore.

I did alot of embarsing things as well I would mumble when I would talk like if I was drunk I belive this drug gives that effect. I always wanted to get off when I was on but to hard to stop. then one day I woke up and said no more, you have to have will power and that is what it took for me. and one loving husband.

m basically asking if this is a definite drug addiction, even though she is prescribed the pills each month? And also how to get through to her that she needs help?

I'm sorry, but you absolutely have to be out of your mind to play doctor on your friend with Haldol. The fact that she's on Zyprexa shows that she's been diagnosed as having schizophrenia. That's a diagnosis left to a psychiatrist, not "friends". You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. Dosing her with Haldol will only lead you to jail. If she becomes violent or you fear for her life, call 911. And, by the way, in most states...

Lately I think that she has been watching the Intervention show to see how not to get caught. I love her very much and want to help her. I feel that her pain is my fault. I don't know how to help.

It sounds like he is doctor hopping to get meds, not a good thing. With what's he's doing there is a risk of over medicating and addiction. Do any of the doctors know about each other? Do you have your own family doctor? I would bring it up with your's because I wouldn't know how to go about dealing with this or making a judgement regarding addiction.
