Looking for Help for My Drug Addict?
Question by dkcasad: Looking for Help for my Drug Addict?
I have a son who has struggled with drug addiction, choice of drug is/was oxycontin. He is now in jail after some very poor choices and will be spending time in prison. He is 24. I am in Indiana and am looking for an organization that might be able to help me at his sentencing with information on these evil prescription drugs and what they are doing to our children. My son did not commit the crime, my drugged out son did. He once was a star basketball player and a 3.0 student. Please only serious inquires that want to help or have information that can connect me with the right people.
correction- I meant serious responses not serious inquires, typo.

Answer by raysny
The most recent I could find for the US has the figures for 1997:
“A study shows that the U.S. spent a combined $ 11.9 billion on alcohol and drug abuse treatment, while the total social costs were more than $ 294 billion. The results were part of the National Estimates of Expenditures for Substance Abuse Treatment, 1997, which was released at the end of April by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Center for Substance Abuse Treatment.

Answer by Bruce J
In many states, they are required. Any felony drug conviction in my state requires rehab now. The rehab is located in the prison. They serve part of thier time in rehab, and finish it in general population.

What US Cities Have the Lowest Cost of Living and a High Employment Rate?
Question by someone,somewhere: What US cities have the lowest cost of living and a high employment rate?
I currently live in Los Angeles county, which has a high cost of living. I’m thinking about moving out of state but can’t really decide where. Any information you would like to contribute about where you live, the cost of living, employment ratios, quality of living, etc would be greatly appreciated! I’m looking for a nice area where I can easily get a job. (I do office work – Administrative and Customer Service oriented. My husband does pest control.) Someplace where the cost of housing is affordable, where there aren’t a bunch of bums, poor people or gangs. A place that isn’t too conservative (we have a lot of tattoos and want to be accepted by our neighbors). Nice weather,maybe a little snow but not so much that you get snowed in all the time. I’d love to be near a lake or the ocean. I’ve pretty much eliminated Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada (all too hot), Utah (too many Mormons), Alabama, Georgia and Florida. I’ve been considering North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Oklahoma.
Thanks!
