Question by brad: What am I supposed to do after my life inside a drug rehab?
I just got out of a drug rehab. I feel good and I think I made the right choice. What am I supposed to do now? I’m 21 years old and I know that I have a good life ahead of me but I just can’t seem to figure out where to start. I can’t even go back to my old friends. They’re still holding pot sessions. I don’t want to risk my recent recovery. Any suggestions on what I can do to continue a healthy life?

Answer by andie Congratulations for making it! It’s always nice to hear news about people winning their fight against drugs. I think it’s a good decision to stay away from your pot-smoking old friends but if you really want to be a friend, I think you should take the initiative and convince them to enter a drug rehab too. Tell them about what you’ve been through and where you are now. There’s nothing better than helping other people get out of a bad habit.
You’re pretty young. Have you ever been to college? I think you should try it. I think it will do you well (just stay away from other pot-smoking people, okay?). If you want to, you can also get a job or something. Earn money by doing something you love. You can also do sports like football or badminton. If you want, you can pick a new hobby. Try painting or drawing. If you’re into music, you can also learn how to play a new instrument. Just have fun and live life but make sure you do it the right way.

Question by cheyanne tw: How long will a person have to stay inside a drug rehab for addiction treatment?
I was just wondering how long it would take for a person to recover from substance addiction. I have a neighbor who has just gotten into an inpatient drug rehab program and I want to know when he’s likely to be back here again.
Best answer:
Answer by angelena e The duration of the addiction treatment is likely to be dependent upon the needs of the person. It’s also dependent upon the length of time that the patient has been taking the substance. Your neighbor has to respond to the treatment positively so as to get out of rehab sooner. It takes a couple of months, and may even extend to a year or so.

I’m fairly concerned that one of my family members is on crystal meth now. I know its not my mother-in-laws drugs, because she only does ketamine, whippits, and nyquil.
How do I find out whose drugs they are without confronting or embarassing anyone? Or should I just keep the meth and use it/sell it?
Why cant my family go back to the simpler times of hiding airplane bottles of liquor around the house for Easter?

Missing: adj. Not present; absent. Throwaway: n. Something designed or likely to be discarded after use. By definition, youth are not meant to be missing or thrown away, but it happens. When it does, Social Advocates for Youth is there. The California Department of Justice defines missing child as one who has left home without the knowledge or permission of parents or guardian. In California, approximately 110300 children a year were reported missing for 2006, 2007, and 2008. During the same three year period, an average of 1100 youth was reported missing in Sonoma County. SAYs Dr. James Coffee House is the only 24/7 emergency youth shelter in Sonoma County since 1991. The Coffee House fills a profound need in our community. Without the Coffee House, Sonoma County would have no safety net for young people who run away or who have been kicked out of their homes. www.saysc.org
This is just one of those questions I had that just popped into my head. I am just curious to what happens after you snort the crystal meth (inside the body), not smoke it or inject it.
