How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

She’s had MANY sex partners, including several of his friends. He claims they didn’t have sex, just got each other off…whatever that entails…so could he have some STD that he could pass to our son via sharing the same drink or what not?
Our son is 5 & autistic so telling him to not drink after is dad is something I try to teach him, but doesn’t necessarily get through to him.

BTW, this has NOTHING to do with me still having any sort of feelings for my ex. I left him.
Her method of choice is injection.

My husband just got laid off from his job, and we have to send our son to an alcohol rehab. My salary alone won’t be enough. I was just wondering if there are other alternatives? My husband is trying to find a new job, of course, but we want to be able to get our son inside rehab the soonest possible time, Any ideas?

A year ago my little brother started acting ‘different’. We couldn’t put our finger on it, but eventually it got worse and worse. I say little, but he’s 30 and was living with his wife and son at the time. I can only imagine how bad it go before she finally kicked him out, but she’s shared episodes of him going through crazy highs and lows. Sleeping for days and then being enraged for hours over something as simple as what type of cereal she bought.

I love my brother, but he’s an idiot. He’s never going to find another girl like her. She’s totally opposite of him, and had no idea what he was doing. Poor thing was going crazy, trying to figure out what was wrong. It wasn’t until months after he had gone that she found out what he had been doing. And that’s only because once he was on his own he went from bad to worse. He stayed away from all of us but we heard stories from friends who were concerned about him. I still can’t believe the stories we heard. I feel for my poor sister-in-law as he got involved with a lot of bad people and we heard stories of lot of women, and much, much worse.

As fast as he started doing drugs, he has now stopped. He’s been clean for three months and although he’s doing better, his behavior is not the same as before he started doing the drug. He has mood swings. Still gets mad. Is very depressed and sad and feels sorry for himself constantly. He also blames everyone else for what he was doing. From his wife, to his family and friends and even his son. His reasoning is that we all knew what he was doing and didn’t try to stop him.

He’s even convinced that his wife someone guided those ‘women’ to him during his ‘downfall’ so that he would fail at being on his own and have to crawl back to her. She has tried to be there as much as she can, and she has forgiven most of his past transgressions. But every time she thinks she might want to work things out with him, he will have another episode and either get so depressed he refuses to talk to her or wants to scream at her over the phone. He’s like that with all of us also. Sometimes he loves his family (mother, father, sister, etc.) and is thankful for us being there for him. Other times he hates us all and brings up incidents that happened when we were children!

I don’t know what to do. Is he ruined forever? Will Crystal Meth affect him forever?

My sister is using meth,she has two children and doesnt take care of them.My parents that care of her daughter and her son stays with his father,they both have different fathers.Anyways My family and I have tryed everything to try and get her help.She never goes through with anything.We tryed putting her in treatment but she just sighs herself out. Anyone know what else we could try.Please help before it’s too late!

This is slang for something. “what does roll up some crystal clear with some tobi “. I saw it in my cell. My son was chatting with a friend. He said roll up something with clear , transparent paper but i am scared it may be crystal meth. Can you roll up crystal meth? Could that be the meaning of the slang his friend wrote to him?

I was researching methamphetamines, and did you know the medication doctors prescribe for ADHD is the same thing as crystal meth? I have always been strongly against medicating children for ADHD believing that all children have different degrees of this invisible illness due to their immature brains, and delays in brain development. Now that I am learning a little more about methamphetimines I am even more strongly against medicating children for “ADHD”. The long term effects of meth, and the withdrawal effects are horrible! My son is extremely hyperactive and would most definitely be diagnosed with ADHD if I started complaining to a few doctors about it. How dare they prescribe my son something so dangerous. I need to research more, but I warn anyone in giving their child any type of methamphetamine!
The dextrorotatory (S-isomer) dextromethamphetamine can be prescribed to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, though unmethylated amphetamine is more commonly prescribed.

Nervousness and insomnia are the most common adverse reactions but are usually controlled by reducing dosage and omitting the drug in the afternoon or evening. Other reactions include hypersensitivity (including skin rash, urticaria, fever, arthralgia, exfoliative dermatitis, erythema multiforme with histopathological findings of necrotizing vasculitis, and thrombocytopenic purpura); anorexia; nausea; dizziness; palpitations; headache; dyskinesia; drowsiness; blood pressure and pulse changes, both up and down; tachycardia; angina; cardiac arrhythmia; abdominal pain; weight loss during prolonged therapy. There have been rare reports of Tourette’s syndrome. Toxic psychosis has been reported.

In children, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, weight loss during prolonged the
The above refers to ritalin or Methylphenidate hydrochloride.
Ritalin is a methamphetimine! I have a college degree, and I have taken a college course on drug use in American society. Ritalin is comparable to the street drug.

For those of you thinking that it might be FUN, help you control your weight or just make you COOL and fit in, It does all of that I guess.

My son was a recovering addict from when he was 16-18, he lived with his mom and went through rehab several times for both meth and beer. At the age of 35 he HUNG HIMSELF because he could NEVER get rid of the after affects on his brain. He was anti-social, he couldn’t concentrate and was disgnosed as being a schitzophrenic. He couldn’t hold a good job and went from one menial job to another. He was an astronomy WIZARD, but never went to school because he could not deal with the structure. He was CLEAN from crystal for over 20 YEARS and the after affects for two years of FUN and ESCAPE stayed with him for the rest of his short life.
He went from a crystal addiction to a life of looking over his shoulder because the crystal was ALWAYS there and the after affects NEVER left!
BE COOL, BE FUN and be prepared for a life of HELL!
THANKS for your answeres and you are probably right, “The people that NEED to read this won’t”. I just thought that some good could come from his story.

Bloodline, YOU got SCREWED BIG TIME and I am SORRY.

The point that I was trying to make is that crystal is NOT like smoking a REALLY GOOD joint ONCE or even several times. You get stupid, EVERYTHING is FUNNY and you wake up with NO hangover. Crystal is like inviting a nice guy to dinner that will NEVER leave and is abusive. ONE TIME and you are SCREWED.
Isn’t advanced chemistry GRAND? They have found a way to use OTC stuff to create a drug that ruins one’s life after a SINGLE USE. If one has minor issues it magnifies them so that they are no longer controllable; PS, anxiety attacks and the rest. It takes the locked door off of the hinges and everything flies out; HANG IN “Bloodline” and keep the faith; I am SORRY for what you are going through!
If I was able to SCARE the S*** out of YOU then GOOD! Do your homework!

It’s starting to worry me..at first it was great until my little Garrett told me him and his friends were out busting peoples knee caps to establish themselves in a grown man’s world. how do i tell my son it’s wrong to have money women and power?
he’s half black..idk if it matters just throwing that out there

He is very sick right now for no apparent reason

My oldest son is almost 20 years old. He is definitly on the wrong road. I believe he is doing crystal meth again after being clean for almost 3 years. When he was 16 he got into and ended up in all kinds of trouble with the law. When I found out what he was doing I turned him in myself and he ended up going to DYS, a juvenile prison for a little over a year. He hated me at first but we worked thru it and for awhile I actually felt like he was greatful that I did it. Now I see him spiraling down the same road. He wont admit it to me..he actually avoids me if at all possible. He doesnt live with me so he feels its none of my buisness. I have cut him off totally financialy. I just dont know what else I can do to help him now or make him see what hes doing to himself. He has a little boy that is almost a year old that he is not allowed to see. Ever since he and his girlfriend broke up and she refuses to let him see the baby things have been awful. This is when the drugs started again. I am willing to do anything and everything in my power and beyond to save my son. I keep hoping and praying for a way to do it without turning him in to cops. When I try to talk to him he either blows it off like im over reacting or gets angry with me and leaves. Has anyone been thru anything similar? Any advice you would like to share?
For the record, I didnt send him anywhere, the judge did and yes while in jail he was in a rehab program. I dont feel I failed him, I feel I saved him. I would rather him in a place getting help then have him runaway and end up killing himself.

My son will not stay at home because I told him to stay away from his girl friend who I know is a crystal meth user. Now I only hear from him when he needs something. They stay any where and dont work she getd state aid. I think he is now using the drug

everything.She lost her job and he got demoted trying to help her with the kids, she would bring them to his job and make him watch them.They have been late on the rent, he was buying a car and he lost that. The kids are already having troubles. I am trying to get him to understand how dangerous her situation is, he is not trying to listen but is there at least something I can do to help the kids to not get involved in the same world as there Mom’s, her parent and siblings are also into drugs so I can not contact Grandparents.

i suspect my son be using it and i want to know how long meth stays in the body

I’m fairly concerned that one of my family members is on crystal meth now. I know its not my mother-in-laws drugs, because she only does ketamine, whippits, and nyquil.
How do I find out whose drugs they are without confronting or embarassing anyone? Or should I just keep the meth and use it/sell it?

Why cant my family go back to the simpler times of hiding airplane bottles of liquor around the house for Easter?
