- Do you think that this is going to be another missed opportunity for the media to address the potential dangers of prescription drugs and their addiction possibilities? It seems as though celebrity drug deaths are minimized because they are...
- Did anyone see that show on CNN? They featured four people (including Beautiful Boy - Nick) about their stories of addiction. Nick relapsed a few times, towards the end of the segment. Google it on CNN Health. One story waa of a man who was...
- Results from a new study conducted by the Partnership For a Drug-Free America last August discovered that the number one reason teens start using drugs (73%) is because of school pressures and stress. This question, on previous studies, had never...
- If you had the opportunity to give your opinion on what you think the IDEAL treatment and recovery system SHOULD be, what would it look like? Oh - How about another question:What do you think are the biggest challenges facing regarding the...
- Can anyone tell me what these drug slang words are? Swimmers - ocean cruisers - roller skates - are? Green is pot and doses are LSD, correct?
- My 17 year old son is and has been in recovery for a number of months now. He tests clean & attends AA a few times every week, without any "reminders" from me or his dad. For the most part his behavior indicates to us that he is clean. Every now and...
- I just started reading this book,From Binge To Blackout, and so far I can understand why it's being promoted in our community and surrounding suburbs around us. The authors Chris & Toren Volkmann are a mother and son who struggled with his drinking...
- I just received a letter from my son's school inviting me to attend a breakfast on Thursday, Jan.15th with both the middle and high school administration to share "pertinent" data on the drug problem. They are seeking my help and would like to...
- I'm not talking about the signs of addiction. I'm talking about something else. I'm talking about all the people and "coincidences" that help your loved one get onto the path of recovery. You just need to be in tune with "the signs". At least,...
- 17 year old son has made some great strides and we have seen a marked improvement but just recently things are feeling like something is going on. Drug screens continue to be clean, not even dilute. Behavior (home rules and attitude) has been still...
- 17 year old son has been clean for over a month but, at times, his behavior mimics using. I honestly do not think he is using for a number of reasons too long to list. Having said that, his counselor thinks he's a dry drunk. I googled what that...
- Son, 17, is court ordered to get an assessment at a 90 day residential treatment center soon. He's been continously testing negative and although he's not following simple house rules: coming home after school or for dinner, doesn't do homework or...
- Does anyone know anything about this or should I say experienced it with themselves or with a loved one? My son is, as far as I can tell or his counselors, clean and not using. The problem is he has any of the behaviors of a user and this is when...
- Anyone familiar with this pain medication? I looked it up on-line and read conflicting reports. I saw this name on one of my son's text messages.
- Son returned from residential and seems to be doing "okay". He obeys all the house rules and has been pleasant. So what is the problem? A few things that concern me and if these are red flags, they need to be addressed now rather than later. He...
