Drug Rehabilitation that works

Question by lovemysexyman: if you are a recovering drug addict, does that mean you would also be an alcoholic?
If you were addicted to drugs, does that mean that you would become addicted to alcohol, sex, and other vices? Or is it possible to be a drug addict and be able to drink alcohol and not be an alcoholic? Does being presently drug addicted make a difference verses being a recovering addict? How can you tell if someone is an alcoholic?

Answer by SuperVibrationalEscrow
No. In fact in my younger days when I hung around addicts, sometimes they would get away with it for quite a long time without family and friends finding out because they were either non-drinkers or they would be the type to trust as ‘designated driver’. Because they didn’t get into booze many people thought they were clean. It is very very common for those who are addicted to prescription drugs to steer clear of alcohol.

Question by DH: Do rich people believe if the billions of working poor would just work harder they wouldn’t be poor anymore?
Two ways to help humanity
1)Increase productivity, college, health care, mental help, addiction treatment, small business grants, etc, etc. This takes a very long time.
2)Decrease costs, fuel, water, housing, inflation, taxes, energy, food, transportation, etc, etc.

So, what can be reduced in costs right now. Well, inflation is man made so that would have the biggest impact.
And fuel and manufacturing costs can be reduced by already existing technology.

So what is easier, giving billions of people thousands cash to study real hard with or without diseases, and little family support or stepping on the toes of rich companies by free market?

My conclusion is we neglect the working poor, by spending our energy on homeless shelters, rehab, section8, etc, instead of the source which everyone has already surrendered to figuring out. Charity & nonprofits always set the bar of success at 1 person, how about everybody?
To ‘buy into mainstream culture’ is communistic. ic to not use the answers we already have to solve suffering of billions.
So we need a cutthroat person to fight for free market opportunities to help poor by providing lower costs and job opportunities at the same time.

I’m sure they have AA meetings and i think you should encourage him to participate or continue to go to AA and see if he would like u to go with him, if u would be willing to. Otherwise you can find an AA meeting by maybe talking to the court house, and go find information if your really interested in helping him. I think that it’s outstanding that you are trying to help him through this, i think more people should strive to help people recover when they choose to, because a lot of people never choose to stop. Thank you.

Question by .: Why would a drug rehab center put a 16 year old boy on antidepressants and antipsychotics without?
diagnosing him with depression or any mental disorder, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder? They are administering these drugs to him for aggressiveness and behavioral problems. Since when have antipsychotics been used in adolescents for aggressive behavior? Is this ethical? Is this the 21st century version of electroshock therapy and lobotomy? Why is a drug rehab facility taking someone off of street drugs and putting him on pharmaceutical drugs?

Answer by Jay
maybe their trying to ween him off the other drugs.

Question by Stacy: Are there any natural antidepressants available that would work on an alcoholic?
My father in law is an alcoholic. He is 60+ and it does not appear that he has an interest in getting help with his alcoholism. He’s gone to the VA…they gave him antidepressants. However, he won’t take them because he can’t drink while taking them. Is anyone familiar with any natural antidepressants that won’t effect him negatively if he continues to drink?

Yerba mate tea. Get the Bija brand, it’s the best. Put some local honey in it, it will help his immune system.

Also, the doctor needs to give him folic acid, it helps alcoholics.

And give him a food multi-B and lots of vitamin C and D.

Answer by Bacardifreak
an alcoholic will seek any means to pursue the poison. if you can go to bed without thinking about taking a drink, don’t worry. in fact, quit while you’re ahead.
