- Ok, so my 22 yr old opiate addict son finally found a doctor he seems to be doing well with. Problem is: 1) They don't accept his insurance and 2) they've been giving him subutex which his insurance doesn't cover. It costs $350 to $400 a month to...
- I had to call 911 last night on my 21 yr old son. When I got home from work he was on the porch, crying and nodding out, saying he was tired of living this lifestyle. I got him up and tried to get him to eat. As soon as he ate, he immediately...
- So my 21 yr old opiate, cocaine, marijuana and God only knows what else son informs me yesterday that he has Hep C. As if that wasn't enough to deal with I find out today that he stolen money from me yesterday. I have sent him several harsh text...
- My 21 year old opiate/heroin addict son is currently on day 7 of a short 10 day jail sentence in the county jail for a probation violation (a new felony charge). I have to admit my home has been so much more peaceful with him not there. No watching...
- Went to my families with my son for Thanksgiving. The weekend was going wonderful until the day we left. My mother discovered that her wedding rings were missing. The only logical explanation is that my son, the addict, the liar and the thief, took...
- My son was supposed to get the vivitrol injection yesterday but he had subutex in his system so the doctor wouldn't give it to him. Now the injection is postponed until Monday and only if he is clean. He went through heavy withdrawals to prepare to...
- For the last several months I've been trying to deal with and help my son who admitted he had been using heroin. We've tried detoxing at home -- didn't work, he was using the whole time, then he tried a 5 day detox facility and used as soon as they...
- My son is an opiate/heroin addict. He's been through home detox and medical detox, both were unsuccessful. He has been going to NA and AA meetings and will start IOP as soon as we can work through all the red tape of dealing with the insurance...
- My 21 yr old son is a heroin addict. He went to court last week for probation violation and the Judge extended his probation for one year with random and frequent drug screens. Since then he lost his job...his version was that the boss asked all of...
- My son is being discharged from detox today. He just called to let me know. He has an outpatient follow up appointment tomorrow but says he isn't going to an inpatient facility. I'm already falling to pieces again. What's next? Do I let him come...
- I found out that my son has been shooting subutex. Does anyone know anything about this? I've heard of subutex but never someone shooting it.
- Ok, so the home detox worked or at least I thought it did. Now I think he just used that time to rest or hide out. It's been 7 days and he's back at it. I don't think he ever stopped using. His withdrawal symptoms were never that bad. I came home...
- I've decided to let my son come home to detox. I thought by now that the PO would have violated him and he would be in jail but that hasn't happened.. I've had no luck in finding an inpatient facility for him. He called me and asked for help. So,...
- Ok, so he lost his job today. He called me this morning, crying, and said his boss said he was sleeping while raking (which I don't understand). His version was that he forgot his sunglasses and he was "squinting". My first thought was that he was...
- My 20 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD as a young child. He started on stimulant meds and was on and off of those up until high school. The summer before the 9th grade I suspected he was using Marijuana so I took him off the meds for fear that I...
