Confidential Drug Rehabilitation

Question by Ms. Reaves: I need to know about requirements to work in a drug rehab center?
Because of a friend’s drug addiction, I have recently decided to have a career in a drug rehabilitation.

I’ve wanted to be an RN for a while, but I’m sure there are other requirements to work with patients in drug rehab centers.

I don’t really need to know the actions of the people and what I’ll be dealing with so much as what the REQUIREMENTS are.

If you know of any links or have any advice, please let me know.

My local library has a Vocational Guidance book. It has about 3 or 4 pages on each job. So find a good librarian & get this info. If you are in a school go to a counselor & set up a meeting with one. Call colledges cause you might have to go to a specific one to find the right course. I would also ask treatment centers if they have anyone there who could speak to you & have your questions ready for an interview or take them to lunch & you pay or if a phone interview you would want to send them a thank you. Many addiction couselors are former addicts so remember to interview different people. Some has a family member. I am not a counselor but I have a son who died at age 20, 9 years ago. So be prepared for some real emotional stuff. Thank you friend for putting you on this path. He or She needs to feel they are of some value so it all helps.

Question by RLP: Why is UC Berkely now asking for DNA samples of incoming freshmen…I know what they say…but…WHY?
The students will be asked to voluntarily submit a DNA sample. The cotton swabs will come with two bar code labels. One label will be put on the DNA sample and the other is kept for the students own records.

The confidential process is being overseen by Jasper Rine, a campus professor of Genetics and Development Biology, who says the test results will help students make decisions about their diet and lifestyle.

Once the DNA sample is sent in and tested, it will show the student’s ability to tolerate alcohol, absorb folic acid and metabolize lactose.

The results of the test will be put in a secure online database where students will be able to retrieve their results by using their bar code.

Rine hopes that this will excite students to be more hands-on with their college experience.

Large-scale recalls and a production stoppage by two major manufacturers have created a shortage of oxycodone immediate-release tablets, a potent opioid painkiller. Mallinckrodt, Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals and Vintage Pharmaceuticals have short supplies of the product due to recalls by other drugmakers, according to the FDA’s drug shortage website. The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists’ website lists manufacturing issues at KV Pharmaceutical and Actavis as the reason for the shortage.Oxycodone shortage hurts
patients
The detox may be worse than the pain

Story by: Chris Velardi
(WTNH) – The recent Oxycodone shortage is a real pain for its users and doctors. It’s such a powerful drug that if patients are forced to stop using, they may have to go to rehab to deal with withdrawal symptoms.

Sondra has chronic back pain and the only thing that truly eases that pain is Oxycodone .

“I wouldn’t be able to function at all without it,” Sondra said.

That’s why Sondra’s concerned about a nationwide shortage of the drug. The shortage stems from a voluntary recall of Oxycodone from drug maker Ethex .

That forced pharmacies to turn to other companies that weren’t prepared and are already limited by the government as to how much Oxycodone they can produce.

I feel bad for people who need it I am lucky that i don’t need this medication.I want to buy stock in companies that are making up for the shortage .I heard on one news broadcast that each company has to give a set number to the fda each year of how many medications they will distribute and they can not under any condition distribute more.So theese companies might not make a profit off of the two shut down companies.Just wanted to know people opions on this subject.It is effecting alot of people for it to be on the news.Is it effecting you or anyone you know.My aunt has to see a doc.for medical problems chronic pain and it is effecting her.

I have tried all I know. He’s an alcoholic. I tell him to get out, he says no. I threaten to leave, he says make sure you take it all, because you’re never coming back in here. He’s missing more and more work. He’s usually at least an hour late daily and misses a few days a month because he’s hung over and has been up all night. He plays World or Warcraft every moment he isn’t working. He does sleep overs a couple times a month…probably with his brother. He won’t have anything to do with me physically…nothing. I have no proof, but I’m pretty sure he’s using drugs.

I hate that I feel like my only option is to leave and struggle or stay and be miserable. I am a complete idiot for having kids with him…I already know that. I would really like to know how a strong woman would deal with this. I always hear women say “I wouldn’t put up with that”. Do you mean you’d leave? Or what would you do? Who would you involve? I can’t find a counselor who will see us until he’s ready to deal with his addiction. He does not think he has a problem. He thinks I am his problem. He’s called me a retard and has threatened to have me put away in a mental hospital if I keep bugging him.

How do I put my foot down? Or do I have to leave? I’m so scared for my kids future, whether I stay or leave. He has told me he’d vanish before he’d pay child support to me, so that’s out of the question to count on too.

Help. I know he’s messed up and I would rather make it work. Help.
Anne, we’ve done the intervention. He won’t go and he refuses to leave the house.
Again, I’m hearing make him move out. HOW??? That’s what I want, but he won’t go!

I have an addiction to handbags…. and I have 3 white leather bags. One is Coach, one Balenciaga and the other isn’t designer.
The Coach one is a little older and is pretty dingy. The balenciaga is just a little dirty, slightly not as white as when it was new, and the non designer one is new and clean.
Is there any one product that could be used to clean all 3 bags safely without risk of ruining them?
Or a good professional leather cleaner in NYC?
I’m afraid to take any risks with them because I really like these bags and one was very expensive so I don’t want to ruin them.
Thanks for the help!
