Drug Rehabilitation that works

Question by MMMM B’eer Verchina Expert: If I went to work drunk would I get a couple months off to go to treatment?
Also can you drink while in treatment?

And no they can not fire you for coming to work drunk due to alcoholism being a disease they have to try to help you the first time.
As long as you ask for help they can not fire you the first time.

Trust me I know these things.

He has had most of the complications in the last year, bleeding varices that were banded last fall, he still drinks, he sleeps most of the time, he has ascites and edema which the Dr. just put him on a diuretic to see if that will reduce the fluid. He has had bouts of Hepatic Encephalopathy also, but no signs of that now. He is a severe alcoholic, 56 years old and cannot/won’t quit drinking, although he does go for some days now without alcohol because he is too sick to drink. He is not a candidate for a transplant, so don’t mention that to me. I would like to know what the dying process consists of with cirrhosis and if the kidneys always fail first. I want specific days or weeks or months of his likely survival please from someone who may have gone through this. Do they all go into a coma before they die? Since he just started the diuretic Hydrochlorithiazide we don’t know if it will relieve the fluid buildup or not, but the Dr. did not recommend paracentesis for him.

I want to help her but as I have little to no experience with drugs other than pot I am not sure what to do to help. I have offered her a place to stay for free as long as she is clean. I live 45 km from town and there is no bus service so she will be relying on me for transportation but how can I be sure she is staying of the crap and how can I help her through the detox?

15 months on Testosterone. Just had my 26th birthday, came out to my boss about being trans, thoughts on binding, being clean & sober, and becoming vegan, thoughts on pursuing an honors degree in biopsych, and finally actually getting the hardcopy letter granting me full government funding for top surgery and full hystorectomy Woot! Happy New Year Everyone!

I am worried about my 25 year old daughter. We were told by one of her friends, who has gone into a recovery program, that our daughter smokes crystal meth. She doesn’t know that we know. She still lives at home w/ both parents and a 20 year old brother. She was diagnosed as being bipolar & ADD. Her father and I have never seen the “real her”, so it is hard to know if it’s drugs or being manic. We located a live-in recovery home w/ 12 step program & is linked w/ a great church. We were going to do an intervention but now we don’t know if she is still using, since she has been better the last few weeks. It will soon be Christmas & we thought it would be better to wait after the new year. She has always been secretive and never really talks w/ us, also she lies constantly, so rationally talking to her isn’t possible. She uses confrontation to make any such communication impossible. Could she have stopped using? Do we need further proof of her drug usage to send her to a recovery program?
