Answer by Dochallcom, PhD
America-along with many other industrialized nations-face numerous obstacles in dealing with substance abusers attempting to function normally in society. The need for Substance Abuse Counselors and Addiction Specialists are growing considerably, not just because of emerging younger addicts, but also because of older adults who have adopted errant behaviors conducive to compulsive drinking and drug use.

Why Do I Need Drug Rehab?

Question by Jessie J: Why do I need drug rehab?
I have been a drug user for a year and I haven’t told anyone about it. And if I do decide to get myself into a drug rehab, I would like to do it without anyone having to push me. I would like to learn about drug rehab – what it does, what the treatments are and where I can find one in Florida. Got any ideas?

Report Drug Traffic/Dealing Anonymously in Chicago?

Question by Hellion666: Report Drug Traffic/Dealing Anonymously in Chicago?
Hi, I’ve been recently noticing a lot of problems in my neighborhood. I used to find a page where to report drug traffic along with activity and what’s going on anonymously in Chicago/IL but I haven’t found anything. I tried the numbers on the police official sites and doesn’t seem active. I would like to know if there is anyplace where I can report the activity going on so that the police can come and take a look. I don’t want the activity to spread nor cause any increase in violence or gang activity so I at least want to help put an end to it before it spreads further. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Should Drug Testing Be Mandatory for Those Who Are on Welfare?

Question by jdukenumber1: should drug testing be mandatory for those who are on welfare?
i just read in states such as florida, oklahoma, louisiana and alabama that drug testing is mandatory for those on welfare. and i really don’t see the logic behind it. i find it degrading and quite ridiculous that because someone is of low income, the assumption is that it’s a high possibility they’re on drugs. and please don’t use the “my tax dollars are going to them so i should be sure that they’re using the money wisely” only one percent of federal taxes go to those in welfare so come up with another excuse. regardless if you use drugs or not, it’s an invasion of personal space. and let’s be real, the states mentioned have a high percentage of black people. you wouldn’t hear much of this law in a states such as colorado, idaho, or maine for example.
GRIM REAPER: that’s exactly what i’m talking about! you’re associating welfare recipients to drug users. why is that?
