Answer by Richard
Try looking at ala-teen or ala-non,put them into google and a site will come up. It’s a horrible thing to have to see, a parent being affected by drugs or alcohol. there is support out there, remember two things, it is the drugs and alcohol that drive their actions and you cannot fix them or help them unless they want to help themselves. You need to find support for you and live your life for you.These organizations may be able to help.

Are There Really More Teens in Drug Rehabs Than Adults?

I Need Some Recent, Reliable Statistics; Care to Help?

Question by Amethyst: I need some recent, reliable statistics; care to help?
I would very much like these statistics from reliable, recent sources:
What percentage of drug abusers become addicted
What percentage of teenagers use illegal (NOT prescription) drugs
What amount of money the U.S. has spent on the war on drugs so far this year.
How many arrests out of 1000 (or 100 or 10; doesn’t really matter just out of a number) are drug-related i.e. possession, use, selling
How many people each year die from tobacco
How many people each year die from alcohol poisoning
How many people each year die from alcohol-induced car accidents
What percentage of illegal drug addicts relapse after admitting themselves to treatment
What percentage of convicts in prison on drug-related charges were addicted to drugs at the time of the crime
Please include all of your sources. These statistics should be at least as recent as 2005, and if possible more recent than that. Thank you to anyone who answers.
I have googled these to no end! If you are not going to give me the actual statistics, please don’t answer!

Why Is My Mom Like This?

Question by Oklahoma SOONERS.: Why is my mom like this?
I’m 15, but I’m not the average. I went to rehab for alcohol & drug addiction. I moved back in with my mom in Oklahoma after a 11 month stay living in two different locations- Branson & Kansas city Missouri. She CONSTANTLY complains. I do nothing, & I’m not just denying it and actually do stuff to make her mad. She constantly uses my past against me.

But I mention one thing she’s done in her past-she goes nuts. She acts like she has no flaws & I feel like I hardly know her because she refuses to talk about her mistakes so we have no deep bond.

What’s Worse the Effects of the War on Drugs or Addiction?

Question by Q K: What’s worse the effects of the War On Drugs or addiction?
War On Drugs raises the price of drugs making traffickers super rich including terrorists. We’ll lose the Afghan war cause the Taliban has all the money coming from their opium trade. The fight against terrrorism is at stake cause we stick to enforcing drug laws that are unenforceable. We need to legalize, regulate and tax them like any tobacco product is. Instead of deficits fighting drug cartels we’ll have profits to be used to educate and rehabilitate drug addicts.
