Where can I find good and real information about drug addiction and the role that the family has?
Question by .,;*°CHANANAIS°*;,.: Where can I find good and real information about drug addiction and the role that the family has?
I’m doing a paper about the different roles family members assume when one of them has a problem with drugs, so any suggestions will come handy. Thanks!
It is not about the substances, it is about how the family gets involved in the addiction and the ways they have to cover up the problem, or how they manage the situation, thanks

Should Marijuna be legalized??? Why or why not?
Question by Jessica R: Should Marijuna be legalized??? Why or why not?
And please don’t say it is a gateway drug…The gateway drug is already legal and that is alcohol. There aren’t any potheads that smoked before they drank and there aren’t any crackheads that smoked crack before they got drunk.

Answer by msi_cord
I see no benefit to making it legal. Unless you can show that there is a benefit to changing the law, it should not be changed.

What are the different kinds of drug treatment programs?
Question by dolores df: What are the different kinds of drug treatment programs?
I would just like to know what they’re called. Just out of curiosity, that is.
Best answer:
Answer by blair *
Well, it really depends upon the drug rehab or treatment center. I guess you’d have to contact them to know what kind of program they are offering. To appease your curiosity, though, here are some kinds of treatment programs: Narcotic Antagonist Treatment Using Naltrexone, Agonist Maintenance Treatments, Short-Term Residential Programs, Outpatient Drug-Free Treatment, Long-Term Residential Treatment, Medical Detoxification and Treating Criminal Justice-Involved Drug Abusers and Addicts.
I hope that helps. 🙂

What are the requirements for Suboxone treatment programs?
Question by lil mama: What are the requirements for Suboxone treatment programs?
A friend of mine wants to get treatment for addiction, he is thinking of Suboxone. What all does this entale?
Best answer:
Answer by lizanull
Suboxone is a very powerful drug but addiction specialists are seeing some good results with it. It takes away that craving sensation and the withdrawal that is usually horrible when you don’t have your narcotics, Suboxone keeps that under control as well.
Your friend should look for a doctor who can prescribe and treat him with Suboxone.
You have to be in full-blown withdrawal to be given Suboxone. Otherwise you get this opposite effect and you can get really really sick from it.
Tell your friend to call his local methadone program and see if they can suggest a physician in his area who can treat with Suboxone.
Wish him good luck for me, addiction to painkillers is a terrible problem to have.

Ryan C. NA Speaker drug addict speaking on 12 Step Recovery – Make sure to like us on facebook 🙂 We’d love to have ya stop in and see us! www.facebook.com What is the Twelve Step Model? How is it a “treatment for addiction” or “drug abuse?” From Wikipedia: “A twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles (accepted by members as ‘spiritual principles,’ based on the approved literature) outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems… The method was then adapted and became the foundation of other twelve-step programs. Twelve-step methods have been adopted to address a wide range of substance-abuse and dependency problems.” The importance of this video, and all our other videos, are to show that recovery IS possible and to give hope to those who are struggling with substance abuse issues.
