People within a support group for drug addicts, discuss their problems with each other and provide supportive communication and resources for dealing with their addiction.

Do You Know Any Good Drugs/alcohol Rehabilitation Centres in Southern England?

Question by Niraj G: Do you know any good drugs/alcohol rehabilitation centres in Southern England?

Best answer:

Answer by Arch Teryx
Antibuse is a drug that interferes with the body’s ability to metabolize alcohol. I think it inhibits alcohol dehydrogenase. A few mouthfuls of alcohol and you’ll be wretching your guts out.
Naltrxone is another drug that decreases the urge to have subsequent drinks. Both remedies are recommended to be used in conjunction with a support group.

Ambien Addiction – Where to Go for Help?

Question by chackoperformance: Ambien Addiction – Where to go for help?
I’m really having trouble getting away from taking ambien. I was doctor shopping until it all blew up in my face recently and now all 3 doctors that were writing prescriptions have threatened to tell every pharmacy in colorado not to fill out the prescriptions for it. It’s not that I was taking the drug to get high (in fact I’ve told the doctors this), nor was I dealing it. It just took larger and larger doses to work to put me to sleep and if i try to sleep with out it… well forget it. Ever since the drug came out, I have had a normal sleep schedule. Since this happened I’ve been getting about 2-3 hours of sleep a night (if that). The only other medication that worked for me was Alprazolam but it left me feeling hung over for hours the next day.

What Success Have You Had With in Patient Drug and Alcohol Treatment?

Question by antonia_deamicis: What success have you had with In Patient Drug and Alcohol Treatment?
I have a 19 year old son that has been taking most everything he can get his hands on for 7-8 months now. He says he has no addiction, just likes to “experiment” and when he isn’t on anything he’s too depressed to deal with life. I am scared to death that I will be burying him one day. The biggest issue right now, he is INSANE when he’s straight. He has no off switch at all, and talks and talks and talks so endlessly about all of his knowledge and opinions on everything that I can’t have a single thought of my own in my head because he will NOT SHUT UP! I feel desperate to get him into in patient, he is doing outpatient right now, it’s not enough. Thoughts from people who have gone through inpatient or have walked a loved one through it?
