Can a Person Who Was a Cocaine Addict Drink Alcohol Occasionally After 6 Months of Rehab?
Question by kat: Can a person who was a cocaine addict drink alcohol occasionally after 6 months of rehab?
My husband is getting out of a 6 month drug rehab program on Friday. I want to know if it is ok to allow him to drink alcohol or not. Alcohol was never a problem for him, cocaine was his only addiction. I do not drink very often. I will maybe have 1 or 2 drinks every couple of months. I just wanted to know if I should ban all alcohol from our home? I just need some guidance on this one. Serious, helpful answers please.
Can Past Hard Drug Abuse Damage the Ova (Egg Cells) in a Woman and Cause Mental Retardation or Birth Defects?
Question by pizza_party9: Can past hard drug abuse damage the ova (egg cells) in a woman and cause mental retardation or birth defects?
Can the already developed ova that are in a woman’s body from birth be damaged from years of hard drug use, specifically opiate, marijuana and cocaine abuse? I am curious to know if the child of a former heroin addict is at risk of being born with any birth defects both physical and mental. The mother has been free from drugs for six years. I want to know if ova can be altered while dormant in the ovaries and lead to problems years later if the egg is fertilized. Thank you.

Answer by camilla a
Medication helps in suppressing withdrawal symptoms. A lot of times, the reason why a drug addict can’t quit on his own, is because of the withdrawal symptoms. Having a drug that would be able to free the patient from these symptoms would matter much. Another reason is that medication helps bring the brain functioning back to how it once was. Drugs, such as heroin, interfere with the functions of the brain. The medication reverses the effects brought about by illegal drugs.
Why Is It That There Are People Who Undergo Drug Rehabilitation Who Still Go Back to Taking Drugs Afterward?
Question by CARRIE S: Why is it that there are people who undergo drug rehabilitation who still go back to taking drugs afterward?
Does this mean that the drug rehab program that they were made to undergo just wasn’t effective enough? Or is it more of the fault of the individual?
