Question by valpogal: How can I get medical insurance for my adult daughter who is addicted to Suboxzone or treatment for it?
She began taking her husband’s pain medication while he was dying from testicular cancer and became addicted to opiates. That was the only way she could cope with the barrage of bill collectors, his pain and their 3 children. After he died, she lost their home, insurance, their cars, everything and now lives with me. Suboxzone is a doctor prescribed treatment for opiate addiction but she is addicted to the treatment! She is in bed every day until 5-6 PM, doesn’t have bowel movements or periods, weighs 90 lbs.and eats almost nothing. If I could get a judge to make her a dependent or my ward, I could get her insurance through my work. I cannot afford to send her to Hazelden or another drug rehab. Please don’t tell me to turn to God. I need legal advice or a rehab grant. I am also supporting my other daughter and her 3 children. Anyone reading this who has a clue on how to save my daughter please respond. Time is running out for her.

You can’t do anything until she is ready noone can force/plead/bully/cry or “make them see” she has to see it for herself. I know that’s not the answer that you want but i know it from experience to be true. She has to see this for herself as much as it hurts you and you might want to get some help for yourself until that happens.

You can’t give an addict sleep medication!?!?!?! Take her to a Doctor do not give her any medications that you “think” she should be on!!!!! or that anyone on here suggest that you use.

What do you think? Answer below!

Question by tinkibear21: Any advice about drug addicted fiance?
My fiance is a drug addict and has been for six years. He does not have emotional support from his family and he has no friends. I am the only person he truly cares about and his mother has told me that he has gotten much better since he met me. Unfortunately he still uses. He suffers from depression and Borderline Personality disorder also. Some days he calls rehabs and attempts to do things to get better and others he is negative about his life and future. He uses drugs to compensate for his “sickness” when in reality the drugs are his ultimate sickness. He has to go to jail soon and will be there for at least five months. I’m scared that he will get better while there, but go back to using when he gets out. I don’t know what I should do for him. Please do not say leave him because it will never happen. He is my best friend and I would give my life if only he could get clean, Also please do not suggest 12-step meetings because he is not religious. Can anyone give me some advice?

Plan on a long engagement. If you marry him he will turn your life into a living hell. My guess is that he has a fairly serious mental illness and the drugs are self-medication. Thinking that your love is going to change him is delusion, he is in a self reinforcing circle of depression and addiction that will be almost impossible to break. Since you seem determined to continue this relationship the only real advice I can give you is to not trust him. He will steal from you without hesitation to finance his drug habit and there is absolutely nothing to be gained by allowing this to happen.

Just don’t have kids. They will probably be more messed up than you two are…
