Drug Rehabilitation that works

Question by susannna_kaysen_420: What is the actual difference between a recovered alcoholic or an plain alcoholic?
No offense to any1 who has this disease which my father died from but correct me if I am wrong. Isn’t alcoholism a disease & I thought once an alcoholic always an alcoholic even AFTER you’re sober aren’t you still an alcoholic? What’s the difference?

Recovering alcohols are still alcoholics, but no longer abusing alcohol.

i’m looking for a drug test to detect methadone…they say they will detect methamphetamine….what is the difference
so what drug test that i can buy locally will detect methadone? the 5, 7 or 10 panel @ walmart?
thanks everyone. i have already found and ordered a mtd & oxy drug test! thanks again

my son is on a methadone program but i think he might be using heroin again i want to drug test him.

I work in the Substance Abuse field and see both problem drinkers (meeting DSM IV criteria for “Abuse”) and addicted individuals (meeting at least 3 of 7 criteria for Dependency). How can I explain types of alcoholism (not problem drinking, i.e. abuse) and the Types to a class to help them better understand themselves?

From my research it seems that Suboxone is safer, fits into your life better (no standing in line at 5am) and does not have the severe withdrawals that methadone users experience. I would like some real life answers..it is to get off of the roller coaster of pain pill addiction. How expensive is Suboxone w/o insurance?

the question says it all, is there a difference in amphetamine or methamphetamine, if any?
what is the difference?

Just wondering?
