Answer by Pick A Winner
I am not in your area or I could give you a specific phone number, but you should look up and call hotlines like boys and girls club of America, or look up the good Samaritans hotline and call them. If your county or state has a program, which I’m sure they do, for behavioral health treatment you can get involved in it. I know where I live he could go to a free clinic that the county runs that provides all different types of detox and recovery programs.

From Here, What Should Happen? Long One. Serious Answers Only, Please?

Question by Momma Jette: From here, what should happen? Long one. Serious answers only, please?
Last year, my fiance’s mother died. Afterwards, he had anxiety so bad that he started having migraines that escalated to ice pick migraines. He went to his doctor and was gievn 120 tylenol 3’s a month. Anyone out there that has ever dealt with codiene would know that it’s highly addictive, and 120 is enough to start that addiction. It did. That was a year and a half ago, and it’s alot worse now. He probably spends anywhere from $ 800-$ 1500 buying pills off the street in a month. He came to me last night and told me that he wanted to quit, and he asked me to call his doctor and talk to him about it and see what could be done without him having to go to rehab because he’d lose his job. I did, and his doctor said he would do nothing. HE is the one that caused this, and he said he would do NOTHING. “Sorry, I can’t help you” is what he told me. He also told him that he could not be his patient any more. He then called my fiance’s work place and reffered him to a detox center.
He CANNOT do this because he would have to stay there for 2 weeks without any communication to the outside world.
