How Do People Get a Hold of Drugs in Rehab?

Question by Warfield: How do people get a hold of drugs in rehab?
I’ve heard so many stories of people relapsing while in rehab. Are they allowed to leave the facilities unsupervised? Also, do they frisk you when you enter? And why would you even bring drugs to rehab if you’ve already made the decision to get clean?
@Your Favorite Stoner: I asked a serious question and you didn’t even read it. Just wanted to rant for some reason, didn’t you. Way to give stoners a bad name…

Please Help – Drugs Are Going to Kill My Best Friend?

Question by k: Please help – drugs are going to kill my best friend?
I have a friend who is severely addicted to hard drugs. The last phone call I got from her was her crying because she woke up in a bathtub full of ice cubes because she stopped breathing from a heroin overdose. This was my best friend since I was a child and she moved away in 8th grade but we still remain close after all these years. I do not know what to do, I would not be surprised if the next call I got was one informing me of her death. I am in college in PA and she lives about five hours away in VA. What can I do to help her?

How Often Can You Visit Your Babies in the NICU?

Question by tdoff: How often can you visit your babies in the NICU?
My daughter just had twins eight weeks premature. They were 4-14 and 4-4 at birth and are in the NICU. She visits them frequently, but is getting a vibe from the nurses that she is “in the way”. She is 21, unmarried, and has had a history of drug and alcohol abuse in her teen years, but none recently. She wants to bond with her babies, but is becoming more reluctant to go because of the way the nurses seem to regard her. What should she do?

Inpatient Drug Rehab in NYC/5 Boroughs?

Question by jej: Inpatient drug rehab in NYC/5 boroughs?
I have a friend who is ready to check into a rehab for his drug addiction, however, he is on methadone maintenance and does not want to quit it. I was told by a rehab center in NYC that no New York state inpatient program will accept a methadone patient if they are on more than 40 milligrams, then a mental health clinician told me that is not true. Does anyone know of an inpatient program in the 5 boroughs or Westchester County NY that will allow him to be maintained on methadone? I googled but could not find much. Thanks.
