Cocaine Addiction & Recovery Support Group

Cocaine addiction is the excessive intake of cocaine, and can result in physiological damage, lethargy, depression, or a potentially fatal overdose. Though the immediate craving to do more cocaine is strong and very common, this feeling usually subsides in most users within an hour. This craving can, as it has in many users, develop rather quickly into an intense...

Looking for some schools for troubled teens - ranch types with kids with drug problems. Year long programs....

My son really needs to be in some kind of in-patient rehab but refuses to go to our local 45 stay facility. We need to whisk him away and to get some real help. Know of one in Montana but need to see if there are others out there that any of you are aware of.

thanx

There is one ummmmmmm, I do not know the name but if you go to oprah.com or was it Doc Phil???Any ways there is a ranch for teens (boot camp) that Doc Phil had on I believe (I do not watch t.v any more)and am not an advocate for t.v (my ego had to throw that in)I had went to the ranches web site from Doc Phils I not remember how to get to it but since your on the search I trust your winds beneath you will guide you.Once you get to the Doc Phils site (or oprah's) I know that window of oppertunity to get into treatment varies and I wish you the best in your search.

I actually did write Dr. Phil and attempted to write Oprah but never finished the letter. Thanks...
Note: I am now looking at a facility called Ironwood that is located in Maine - (quite a ways from Montana). The one at Ironwood looks better. I got the impression that the Montana facility (Spring Creek Lodge) was a bit to anxious to "help" me. I had just hit the send button asking about their program when the phone rang. It was them. They even called me a few times after that and sent a few e-mails. I think I've changed my mind about it because I looked into lawsuit claims under their name and they had had a string of them.

    Hello everyone. I'm new to this group. I'm just overwhelmed right now. My son, 23, is a drug addict. He's done spice and lots of pot and I suspect he's had bouts of heroine and meth use. What seems to be his main addiction though is dph(benedryl). He started using it in his early teens. I had no idea.When he was 21, I got frustrated  and yelled at him after he failed to pay for his car payments...

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
