Due to the epidemic like use of opiate anelgesics (pain killers) such as hydrocodone or oxycodone this treatment is badly needed. What is Medicaid’s position for those who have no insurance. Does this vary from state to state, county to county? Can this be handled with some dignity, other than going to a methadone clinic, or hospital setting where the cost is astronomical?
This is not only a mental health issue, but is ruining the lives of many people in the US and worldwide. Pain medication has become the latest and most pervasive way of becoming addicted to opiates.

cocaine addiction

I’ve known this girl for a few years and we haven’t talked much in the past few years because of a very complicated sitution but she does every type of drug except meth and has been in and out of rehab two times for an eating disorder and ate white oleanders to get out one of the seven times

she just doesn’t have a reason to live and i wish i could give her one but life pretty much sucks especially for her, she had it pretty rough growing up, no longer has a college fund because of rehab and has failed ninth grade a few times because of absences anyway

but im talking to her and i suppose just giving her a semi-good influence helps but i would like some imput in what advice i could give her in getting clean, obviously normal programs don’t help, shes been on methadone and lithium and just uses them as a supplement to her habits
what can i say to help her? why shouldn’t she stay on them honestly? when you think about it. she doesn’t care if she dies and can’t handle pain

heroin abuse

well my parents have a drug abuse history they usto do alot of drugs and were addicted so they are now on methadone, but my dad started using crack/cocaine and my mom is now doing cocaine and they are both taking pills, my sister now has a drug addiction problem & my brother sells drugs, they are both in trobule with the law. and as for me i am majorly depressed, and have tried to commit sucidide, and also cut myself. i can’t stand being alive, i am 16 and already dropped out. i have no reason to live & im nothing and i have nobody. all i did have was my mom and know shes slowly fading away and i can’t deal with this. i know whens shes using and i can’t stand it. the time i did try to commit sucicide she was doing drugs, she didn’t even care to help me. we fight majorly when she uses because i can’t stand it. i have a pshyctrist now, but i did not tell her about my parents drug abuse because i am afraid they will take me away from my parents, i dont want that. what should i do? help =[

opiate withdrawal

i have been an addict now for 6 years, and been trying to quit for nearly 6 years, i hate what it has done to my life, all i do is get up and panick about how im going to get my next fix, i hate the drug and everyone i know on it hates it too, i have been in rehab twice and both times i came out and started using again,it controls me and when people say why dont you just stop i wish it was that easy. ive been on methadone but cant help using on top so thats no good and did nt have any luck with subutex either, i hate it when people say it makes you a bad person cause i have never stolen or prostituted myself even though i have thought about it i cant bring myself to do it, i fund it with my little bit of money i have and do car boot sales and things to afford it but im coming to the point that i cant see a way out of this for me and am afraid that i will be like this for the rest of my horrible life, its horrible, what is there left for me to do

methadone treatments

Son 25 years old just went into treatment for heroin and now I’m reading that methadone is used for treatment and just as bad what treatments work best any info would help. Only there for 30 days and not sure of what we are in for next. Are there any treatments that work best for the addiction. I’ve read that herbs and vitamins can help what do I do?
