Drug Rehabilitation that works

I brought my son to a drug rehab center about 5 months ago but I don’t see any changes on him. He always feel depressed and seems he always crave for drugs. What should I do with this?

What type of alcoholic drink is it that everyone buys from the stores that you drop jolly ranchers in the bottom of it, they are clear liquid and kind of have just a plain citrus taste they sorta remind me of smirnoff but thats not it, i used to drink them when i was younger and can’t remember the name of it to save my life, any suggestions?? It can be bought at convienence stores and liquor stores???

my girlfriend was convicted for possession of meth 7 years ago. she did some time in prison and finished a 2 year treatment program for substance abuse. she has been clean and sober now over 6 years and currently works as a residential technician at a treatment facility. she very much wants to go back to school and become a certified counselor specializing in addiction issues. she has turned her life completely around and wants to invest all of her time and knowledge into helping other addicts find recovery. what are the steps she should take to become a drug and alcohol counselor? is there a specific course outline to become one?
thanks in advance.

there is no need for negative comments concerning her past. i just want to be able to help her get into school to pursue what she calls her ‘mission in life’ to help other addicts.

Not much is known of this band, though they are infamous in the Doom Metal underground. They have played a handful of small gigs, but have been rather unproductive due to Titus Crowe’s alcohol addiction and visits to jail. Only one live song has been released as yet, though there is said to be new material in the works. A cryptic band that certainly does not mind it. from:metal-archives.com

A report from the Institute for Safe Medication Practices lists several reasons for the serious and sometime fatal overdoses that have occurred when methadone is used to treat moderate to severe chronic pain. ISMP points out that methadone differs from other opioids in a number of ways. For example, methadone remains in the body long after its analgesic effect has worn off. Also, a patient may not experience the full analgesic effect of methadone until 3-5 days of use, so it must be titrated more slowly than other opioids. And a high degree of tolerance to other opioids does not eliminate the possibility of methadone overdose. ISMP cites two fatalities and a near fatality from prescribing too large a methadone dose for patients who had previously taken high daily doses of Oxycontin or Vicodin. Also, if a patient on methadone stops taking the drug for three consecutive days, the patient may lose tolerance for methadone and be at risk for an overdose if the usual dose is resumed. Errors have also been reported because of confusion between methadone and other drugs with “look alike” names. In one report, a 17-year old patient with a traumatic brain injury received 25 mg of methadone BID instead of methylphenidate and suffered respiratory arrest. ISMP also points out that errors can occur because of confusion between mL and mg doses. In one case, a patient had been taking 13 mg/day of methadone, which was prepared in the community pharmacy using a 1 mg/mL methadone …
