Have You Ever Had One of Those Real Life Situations That Cause You to Pinch Yourself……?

Question by : Have you ever had one of those real life situations that cause you to pinch yourself……?
…cause you might be dreaming?
Here is one from my life… see if you can top it.

My bro-in-law has a bad Opiate addiction. Oxycodone. But also mixes in Morphine some times. He has lost everything good in his life… jobs, wives, kids, homes, cars, belongings, health, friendships, etc. We helped him into detox and rehab a few times… to no avail. He robs and steals and makes a living selling other people’s stuff. He keeps chasing the high and buying and selling drugs and working with corrupt doctors to sell prescriptions for them. He recently moved to another state to get away from his life here in Virginia. He moved in with his mother and looking for a job.

How to Find Addiction Treatment Centers in Boerne, Texas That Can Handle Cases of Prescription Drug Addiction?

Question by callista t: How to find addiction treatment centers in Boerne, Texas that can handle cases of prescription drug addiction?
I have a friend who happens to be addicted to sleeping pills. It started out as a need because she’s insomniac, but for some reason, she has found a way to experience euphoria from use of the drug. She buys a lot and when I asked her what she uses it for, she even cajoled me to try. I would like to find an addiction treatment center so I can find out more information about this kind of addiction and maybe then I can get someone to talk to her about her condition.

My Teenager Who Will Be 16 in November Wants to File to Be Emancipated in Virginia?

Question by : My teenager who will be 16 in November wants to file to be emancipated in Virginia?
Here is a short version of events. We have had problems with her since about the end of 5th grade some typical teenage issues others more serious. She is determined to become emancipated, there is no physical or emotional abuse, no one uses drugs, we provide her a nice home in a nice neighorhood feed her and buy her clothing. We have had issues which concerned us over the last 2 years, twice she has used her dads credit cards without permission once to the tune of $ 1200.00 dollars (we returned everything) and disaplined her by grounding her and taking away her phone and internet for 2 weeks and explaining why this is criminal and wrong, 3 months later she did it to the tune of over $ 600.00. We told her one more time and charges would be filed. She invited a boy over with no adults present and tried to have sex with him, she backed out etc etc. and there have been other issues. She is not mature enough to take care of herself if she files we intend to tell the judge all this things that have happened. We are currently in family therapy trying to work through this. How does Virginia handle this??? Can she do this we are very concerned.
Also I lost my job in Oct 2009 so money is tight very tight and emotions are high. We are unable to put her on our insurance or buy her a car because of this situation and she is upset about that,she appears to have no friends.
We had no intention of buying her a car unless her grades and attitude improved so it wasnt going to happen now she just believes its because we cant afford it.
We dont want to emancipate her we are trying to help her. We need to have testing done for a personality disorder but dont have the funds right now.
