In Need of a Inpatient/outpatient Drug Treatment Program in West Virginia.?

Question by lil mama: In need of a inpatient/outpatient drug treatment program in West Virginia.?
My friend has been on and off drugs for yrs., finally he has asked for help, and I’d like to do what I can for him. The tricky part is… he is currently incarcerated, due to get out May 18th, he’d like to go straight to a treatment facility and not back out on the streets. However all the places I have called so far say that he needs to be refered to a 28 day facility, the have that facility refer him to a 90 day. There are only 3 28 day facilities in W.V. and they all have a 6-8 week waiting list. To top it off they prob. wont tk. him because he wont have any drugs in his system. The only other option is to try and find a outpatient facility and if they feel he needs it, they can try to refer him to inpatient. There are 2 outpatient facilites in the area and they want to prescribe other drugs to suppress the cravings………..I’ve discussed this with him and this would be a last option, he has no drugs in his system now and the goal is to keep it that way. Please if anyone has any other suggestions, options, or has been threw this before , I’d like to hear it…..Please no smarta** comments though, unless you’ve been there don’t judge.

I Need Help Getting My Life Together.?

Question by Chris S: I need help getting my life together.?
Im 19 years old. I was raised by my parents till i was twelve. They where on oxycotin spent everything we had on the drugs. Then i moved out due to my dads paranoid schizophrenia. We lived in a small town in west va and he thought everyone was out to get him. But now i live in Petersburg Virginia and i have a job at Pizza hut that i hate, making 6.55 an hour.
Im addicted to oxycodone just as my parents where. Im so ashamed of myself. I have to pay my bills myself on top of my drug habit i have nothing to show for my money. I have no education i quite school to move away from my dad. I dont think my life will mount to anything. I have no one.. literally no one that cares about me. Therefor i have no one to help me.
I just need advice on how to get my life together. Maybe i should look for a wife who can help me or something.. i dont know im just lost and alone. I need to get my life together before my addiction gets out of hand. I can handle the addiction i basically need a way to get an education, take care of myself while im in school, and just someone who cares about me…

Reynolds (Camel, Salem, Winston cigarettes), as well as pharmaceutical firms Bristol Meyers-Squibb, Merck & Company and Proctor & Gamble; an issue which has been linked to the organization’s lack of media discouraging the misuse of legal drugs.
