Answer by meeka o
The local Mental Health department would have information regarding free drug rehab. The person may need to be admitted first to an emergency room of a county hospital (some states require medical clearance before admit.).

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 PEEONATREE: If you tell your doctor that you take drugs, what may happen?
Is it confidential? Say i have been using drugs, and a serious problem comes up. I want to tell my doc everything so my doc can figure out what is wrong and prescribe proper treatment.
Curious, I know it must happen all the time, I have relatives on dope.

NEED HELP! Five years ago, I would have never needed or considered doing this. We were a very stable middle class family. I had raised two children and decided to go back to school and take some classes in psychology. I became very interested in that and social work and soon quit a 20 year job to return to school. Cutting our income in half was bad but after winning an academic scholarship at the end of two years, I went on for a degree in Social Work. I drove 100 miles per day to school. In the meantime, everything went haywire. I graduated in May of this year and have not gone to work because of family responsibilities. While in school, I dealed with a son in drug addiction but now with a long period of recovery. He became a father out of wedlock to a precious baby girl in 2003. She was abandoned to him at 2 1/2 years old with mother coming back in a few months. Shortly after, a 1 1/2 year custody battle began that became ridiculous. He now has custody of her. Both of them live with my husband and I. His work has been cut by the economy to part time. He has no government help or child support aiding with this child. My husband has just had a week a month cut from his job due to economy. Our savings have dwindled away with attorney fees, medical bills, even with a bond to get me out of jail on a false criminal charge. If not for my education, I would have never considered this lawsuit, but I have watched wrongdoing of Childrens Services, classism, false accusations placed in agency files and passed around to others for months concerning me when they were not only untrue but could have been easily tested for validity. Some of these things I have documentation of, a tape recorded interview with the head of an agency showing many mistakes, etc. Other things, I have very strong circumstantial evidence concerning. Nobody here wants to fight the state. The DA’s office sure doesn’t want to be involved when they work for the state also.
Some of the many issues include:
1) Sexual abuse of my then 2 1/2 year old granddaughter. The story came to me after a long period of talking about this person in a very traumatic story one night after seeing his father who looked very much like him. I asked her to tell dad and granddad the next morning. She said enough without going into details as she did with me. They took her to Childrens Services. It was thought that I MANIPULATED the child to tell this, and I doubt was ever even documented.
2) Mother and father still had custody but both sets of parents were ordered by the court to supervise with parents at all times, including me. At the same time, they held a document saying that I was believed to have character flaws, mental illness, abuse prescription drugs, and take illegal drugs. Do you leave a child with a parent that needs supervision to be done by someone like this?
3) I walked out of a Family Meeting according to them because I was unwilling to compromise or something similar. I did walk out and told them the reason why. I had listened to what would be to everyone’s convenience for half an hour. Not once did I hear anything concerning “what was in the best interest of the child.” They also wanted both parents to sign away custody to grandparents. My son refused to do so without it being heard before a judge. I refused to sign to take custody until both parents were said to be unfit before a judge.
4) My son’s lawyer called and asked to see him and that he bring parents. When we got there, papers were already waiting for everyone to sign. Based on a conversation with Childrens Services, she had decided that there was no use representing him. She wanted him to sign rights to us. She would then become our attorney and fight to be able to get us JOINT custody with the other grandparents. She was fired.
5) For about two years this child did not know where home was. She usually was ordered to spend three days at one place and four at the other.
6) My son had held temporary custody since the abandonment. One night probably a year into this hearing, she was talking to me in bed before going to sleep. All of a sudden she said, “Don’t you know that my daddy don’t have custody anymore. Nana and Papa do” I just let it go and said nothing. The next morning I went to the courthouse to see the documents of the hearing. She was right! For 5 months they had held custody of the child. My son nor any of our family realized this. It was done on a court date where the judge had plainly said that he would not discuss custody that day…only visitation. He sent us in a room to decide on visitation for the next 2 weeks and said when settled, we were dismissed. The grandparents lawyer came out and returned to the podium. He said “your honor, we have one piece of business that we didn’t address.” The judge asked what, and bringing the paper to the judge, he said that it was the visitation agreement that we had made to be signed.
I would LOVE to at least have some more comments here!

My name is Caylee George and I walked out on Youth Build my first day. I have never liked structure, anything with structure I fail. Out of this mistake I have realized, Youth Build has everything I want in my future. I want to be ok with commitment, stop being a quitter, and I want to have an idea. I went into Youth Build without an idea; I need Youth Build to help me figure out what I’m searching for in life because on my own it’s a nearly impossible task. I have never liked to reach for anything I just went along with the flow. When you have no willingness you have no chance. I’m done being stubborn. I’m more than ready and willing to just shut up, sit down, and listen. I will do whatever it takes to make it through and finish my best. This is similar to how it was when I was in rehab I went into it with nothing, I wasn’t ready and I had a bad attitude toward everything and everyone there because I thought my way was fine. But my way is wrong no matter how hard it is for me to admit it, it’s the truth. While I was in rehab a kid gave me advice saying I need to get through this for me and until I could do it for me, do it for my family because any day they could be gone forever and I need to make the best of this and go home and be there for my them, because the next time I see them it could be in a coffin. Once again I didn’t listen, a couple weeks after that the last time I saw my dad was in a coffin. He was on drugs and he was a quitter he hit rock bottom and shot him self. I want to be more than that I want to quit living like him and show my little brothers that you decide the out come of your own life and it doesn’t have to end up like dads. If accepted into Youth Build I would be coming in with a better idea of what I want out of it.
1. I want to be ok with structure, because its what I need.
2. I want to build a relationship with my family epically my brothers because they have enough people that fail them.
3. I want to stop using drugs to calm me down, give me something to do or just make it through the day. Because I don’t want to be dependent on them any more and I want to look and feel as healthy as I did when I was sober.
4. I want to be able to feel good at the end of the day, because at the end of all my days I worry about getting my next high tomorrow and ways to find money for it.
5. I want to have the skills it takes to get through anything in life, because my skills aren’t doing the trick.
6. I want to learn how to let go of the things that have happened to me and forgive the people that let me down because holding these grudges are making me an angry person and I want to feel normal.
7. I want to know what to put here…
I know I have what it takes to make it through I have some rough edges on me that need help. I realize that I can’t force anyone to let me back in all I can do is try. And if I don’t get accepted I have still learned a lesson during this. No body helped me walk out I did it on my own and it’s up to me to fix it. I completely understand what the rules were and they were made very clear to me, I’m asking for one more chance to show you how bad I really want this. I want your help to make a better life for myself as well as my family.
Sincerely,
Caylee George

Hi. I’m eighteen years old and still live with my parents. I go out at least once a week and take home applications to try to get a job. I’ve been trying for almost two years now, and I’ve had no luck. I’ve been told many times how bad the economy is, so it’ll be hard for me to get one, but anyway.
I still live with my parents, and every single day my mother gets drunk. Sometimes she’ll start drinking before it’s even noon. She drinks a lot, and no matter how many drinks she’s had she always claims she isn’t drunk. Whenever my dad and I confront her about this, she screams and yells and tells us she hates us etc.
This has been going on for years. Whenever she starts drinking, she gets mean and vicious. There are times when I won’t even be in the same room as her and she’ll start yelling at me, telling me I’m lazy and fat and that I’m a loser (and to be fair, yeah, I don’t have a job, but I have a 3.4 GPA in college and I’m majoring in nursing, I can’t say I’m a loser. She didn’t even go to college.) and how much she hates me. Then she and my dad will get into a fight, and once he leaves (either to go to work or because he’s had enough of her) she screams at me saying I always ‘stick up for him’ even when I’m not involved in the conversation. She then tells me how I treat her like sh*t because I’m not there to stick up for her in a fight and that I’m useless etc.
When she’s drunk she’ll do mean and rude things and she doesn’t care when I confront her about it. She’ll tell me it’s my fault for her alcoholism and when I ask her why, she can’t give me an answer. She usually replies with “I don’t want to talk to you anymore” or “I can’t stand you” etc. and then won’t let me get a word in.
I can’t explain all the things she does when she’s drunk but she’s insufferable. She’s mean and cruel to me and my dad, and she’ll yell and scare my dogs to badly that they hide under tables and stuff. I don’t understand what made her this way, but I can’t take it anymore.
The problem is, I don’t have the money (no job) to move out or get a dorm, and I don’t know if what she’s doing constitutes as illegal and/or abusive because she’s not physically hitting me or anything.
But I really need help, and I need out of this. I’ve tried taking her to family counseling before, which ended badly. We (my dad, her, and myself) were trying to work things out when my mom just got up and left. I feel helpless and I don’t know what to do. Please help.
Please don’t tell me to try to talk to her because my dad and I have been trying for years and she doesn’t care at all, she always blames us for it (and can never explain why).
My dad has tried to divorce her but she… for a lack of better terms, won’t let him. As well, almost all our family lives in a different state.
I need this question answered: Is what she’s doing illegal?
Can she get arrested for it?

i know about the psychological dependency and addiction on it so i dont want to hear any know it alls start about the dangers of it. i just want people that do it for fun to answer. I usually just take a few on saturday nite and limit myself to ONLY that night just so I don’t start getting addicted. Anyone else do this also? If I could take a few only on saturday nights WITHOUT drinking I don’t think that is enough to get addicted or enough to harm my liver or anything. I mean as long as you make sure you know its just for fun on saturday night and don’t get dependent on it, it should be ok to do here and there right?
thanks for your answers!!! Matt i appreciate your help… id give you 5 stars but this is a new account and they wont let me. anyway, thanks again!
