This is an opportunity that many people are so thankful they went through. Keep an open mind. You will start to get to know yourself through discussions and education. You will become close to the other people there. You might want to keep a journal so that you can look back at it in the future. I know that being scared of something that you are not too familiar with is normal. They won’t make you do anything that you are not comfortable with other than sharing feelings. The more honest you are, the more you will get out of the therapy.
This will be a great, positive turning point for you. Good luck.

Question by anneliese tc: My sister in New Castle, Pennsylvania asks for my help in finding a drug rehab. What should I do?
I don’t live there but my sister is asking for my help regarding finding a drug rehab for her son. She has just recently found out that her son is taking heroin, and this really shook her up. I have to admit that I’m affected as well. My nephew is a straight A student, the kind of kid who has always been such a good boy. It was just really surprising for me to know this. This must be really tough on my sister, and that’s why I want to do whatever I can to help her. Any suggestions?

The links below will be able to help you in your search for drug rehabs. You can weed through them yourself, or you can send them to your sister. You can also tell your sister to bring her son to the doctor. The doctor will then be able to give your sister suggestions and recommendations as to which drug rehab will be right for her son. I really hope your nephew gets treated soon. It’s always tough when somebody gets addicted to heroin, or any other drug. Good luck. I’ll make sure to pray for your family.

if you’re 14 and you’re in a halfway house, your life sucks, and it’s your fault. theyre gonna try to make you realize that. its fine to have a drink now and then, but you’re still a kid– life doesnt revolve around alcohol, and you should only drink or get high if you’re in a safe place to do it.

theyre not really gonna “do” anything. they’re going to put you in a place with alot of other failures like you, and get you guys to talk to each other. remember: it’s your fault you’re in there, and if you dont wanna go back, just take whatever help they advise and get into AA afterwords.

Question by Lauren: My mom is in NA and is acting weird lately. Should I be worried?
Last night we were driving really late up to the gas station and she was swerving all over the road. It was so scary and she said it was because she took a muscle relaxer mixed with benadryl and swore she would never do it again and she was so sorry for putting me at risk. My mom is in recovery and just celebrated 9 years. She is taking some muscle relaxers for her back. But, I also found a whole prescription of klonapins in her room. Should I be worried? Are klonapins narcotics? Even if they aren’t, should she be taking them? Help. Thanks so much

Question by mcdtracy2002: Should I take him back?
I was in a relationship with an addict. We used and made meth together and was eventually raided by the police in May of this year. Since the raid I have been through residential treatment and completed it and am now fully involved with Narcotics Anonymous and am truly sincere about my recovery. During our relationship prior to the raid, we were abusive to eachother. He was physicallly and emotionally abusive and I was emotionally abusive towards him. I know today that meth can and will change your personality. With that in mind, after he gets out of his rehab program (hes been clean for 6 months) are things going to be okay? Can someone be abusive because of the drugs only? Can abusive behaviors change with sobriety?

Question by skylark455st2: Should I have a knee replacement? see details.?
I was in a bad car accident when I was 13. I have had numerous operations to repair damage, one of which was done incorrectly and has given me pain for the last 17 years. I have been on narcotics on and off for 17 years ( I suffer from migranes as well from an anestesia reaction) My doctor (whom I do trust, I’ve been seeing him for about 12 years) reccomends a full knee replacement, but I’m afraid to go through with it. Had I done it when they first reccomended it I’d be on my 3rd replacement. now they have knee replacements designed for women, and they last 15-20 years on average. How do I get over this fear of surgery? I really would like to be nearly pain free for some of my adult life, but I recently had my Gall Bladder removed and had to be sedated before I was brought into the surgery center, I was having massive panic attacks. I’ve even seen a psychiatrist. Any suggestions? Is the replacement surgery and recovery a good or bad experience?

Best answer:

Answer by chez_damascus
The basis for the decision on knee replacement is on two factors – the anatomy of the knee and the level of existing function.
There are people with a lot of wear and tear on the cartilage who don’t have problems with pain or mobility – though the anatomy would say they need surgery, their level of function is good and pain isn’t a problem – no surgery necessary.
Get an opinion from an Orthopedic Surgeon, and a second opinion doesn’t hurt either.
The important thing is to be an active participant in the rehab they give you after the knee replacement for the best outcome.
The question about the anxiety is a different matter. Lots of people do better with sedatives prior to surgery. But if the panic attacks are showing up in other parts of your life, you need to work with your Psychiatrist on getting it under control.

Top 10 Reasons We Should NEVER Call Addiction A ‘Disease’ 1-It sets the alcoholic & addict up for pure failure. 2-It stigmatizes alcohol & drug dependent people for life. 3-It shifts the responsibility from alcoholics/addicts to taxpayers. 4-It presents the alcoholic/addict as a victim or someone to emulate(76). 5-It leads the alcoholic/addict to believe they can’t recover on their own. 6-It traps the alcoholic/addict in a world inhabited by fellow disease sufferers. 7-It brutalizes and brainwashes the young and those who aren’t truly addicted. 8-It excludes all other approaches, many of which have been proven far more successful. 9-It ignores the rest of the alcoholics/addicts problems in favor of blaming them all on the disease. 10-It promotes false beliefs and inappropriate attitudes, as well as harmful, wasteful, and ineffective social policies. -How can those promoting an incurable disease possibly say they’re helping people with such a destructive belief?
