How Do You Get Someone Into Drug Treatment Programs?
Question by Sheryl S: How do you get someone into drug treatment programs?
Anyone have any suggestions on coping with a family member who denies they are a crack user? I have someone who desperately needs to get treatment, but flatly denies the addiction and accuses everyone else of being “liars.” He is truly paranoid and it’s frightening just to try to talk to him.
PLEASE HELP WITH OPIATE ADDICTION and SUBOXONE?
Question by : PLEASE HELP WITH OPIATE ADDICTION AND SUBOXONE?
Hey everyone, I had surgery about 3 years ago and it was done incorrectly and was in extreme pain for years. During that time I became addicted to prescription pain killers, Percocet. Several months ago I finally had enough and got help and decided to go for Suboxone treatment. I have been on Suboxone now for about 3 months. I really want to be opiate free and live a normal life without worrying about pills. Do you think I should stop the Suboxone cold turkey and just deal with the withdrawal for a few days or any other suggestions. I would appreciate any answers from people who have been in the same or similar situations. Thanks
