Question by ref_praveen: What are the treatments available for nicotine addiction?
Does the treatment really work? I know smoking is a lethal addiction and it is almost impossible to really quit it. So, I want to know various treatments to get rid of this addiction.

Answer by adam
The patches work well. I used them. But they didn’t help me mentally because I really enjoyed smoking. The taste, the feel of the smoke going into my lungs…I didn’t have any of that with the patch. You won’t have the physical withdrawals anyhow. Good luck. It’s tough. I still crave cigarettes every single day and it has been more than 10 years since I quit. If it weren’t for God, I’d be smoking right now.

Question by Coltsgal: Are there any tax deductions for recovering addict treatments?
I have a family member who is a recovering pill addict. He currently takes methodone as treatment. I was told that the money paid for the methodone is deductable for taxes. Is this true, and if it is, under what category is it a deduction?

Best answer:

Answer by just me
If it qualifies as a medical expense all unreimbursed medical expenses are deducted on Schedule A; an amount equal to 7.5% of your agi is not deductible,- any amount over that is.

Question by bayley y: Why is it that alcoholism treatments don’t work for some people?
I know of some people who have been in rehab but took to drinking alcohol again after they were let out of the program. Why is this so?

Best answer:

Answer by abygail m
Alcoholism treatments work. The thing is, though, it doesn’t work for everybody because there are just some people who aren’t really making enough effort to stay away from alcohol. These are the people who may not have wanted to get themselves treated for their addiction in the first place. It may also be because the person has not spent enough time in the treatment program and is not very committed to recovery. Recovery from alcoholism is also a life-long process, thus, the patients will always be susceptible to the possibility of relapse.

Question by finny f: What are the treatments in a Florida drug rehab?
I have a friend who is suffering from drug addiction and she now wants to come clean. She had tried to talk to her parents about it, but she’s to scared to do so. She asked my help to find a drug rehab where she can get treatment. I have heard that Florida has the best drug rehabs. I would also like to find out what treatments are offered in a Florida drug rehab.

Answer by paul r
In Florida, drug rehabs usually have two treatments: inpatient treatment and outpatient treatment. Although both treatments should be attended to for quite some time, the first would usually require patients to be admitted to a rehab facility while the latter allows the patient to get rehab treatment at home.

A typical Florida drug rehab would always have detox as its first step in treating drug addiction. Detox has three stages: medical detox (the most painful phase where narcotics are washed away from your body), physical detox (a nutritionist would ensure that the diet is suited to the patient’s needs) and emotional detox (drug-dependence is dealt with).

Aside from providing treatments to drug addiction, drug rehabs in Florida also offer treatment to dual diagnosis or those who still find themselves dependent on drugs leading to their on-and-off duel with addiction. With Florida drug rehabs now having a holistic approach to providing longterm effects in the fight for sobriety, I know that your friend has a high chance of coming clean.

I’m working on a TV-movie script about the life of a drug rehab patient. I think it will be more realistic if I include some information about drug treatment programs and how they are conducted. I hope you can help me.
