He promises that he will never touch another drug or drink that he just wants a normal life. I dont know if it is jail talk or is he serious… please help me

He is very sick right now for no apparent reason

I have a 27 year old son Who started drinking around 4-5 years ago. Since about a year ago it’s gotten out of control. He’s in serious condition and is in deep need of severe intense help. He has a wife they married about 4 months ago and his wife recently learned she was pregnant with their first child. He has no financial resources except for what he gets from Human Resources. From what his wife and I know thus far the places we looked at thus far doesn’t cover his medical insurance. Having no financial resources I can not help pay for his treatment if he was to receive any. He is close to death if he doesn’t get some help NOW. Does Anyone here reading this now know of Intervention programs that will take Medicaid alone or combined Medicaid with some financial monies at low minimum cost. If it was to be at low minimum cost we his family might be able to find a way to get it together or even maybe easier yet if the Intervention program would accept his medicaid insurance combined with paying in monthly installments we may be able to have an easier way to working it out. I come here in love for my son, I can’t lose him. If anyone has any kind of suggestions where his wife, myself, and his sister can him the much needed yet very necessary care he needs to help him beat this undesirable disease of alcoholism. He just lost his dad in Sept. 2007 please help him to not be the next, as his dad also was an alcoholic and I don’t want my son ending up where his dad is this very moment—dead. Thanks for taking time to read this as well as allowing me to vent a bit of my frustartion and pain over this. I have no where to turn so that’s my reason of why I came here to all who now read this in hope of getting someone to make suggestions or help refer him somewhere. He’s presently in the hospital in the Detox ward. This is his 3rd time there since late October. He can’t continue life as he is now.
Rehab and A.A. have been looked into. He’s participated in them. Research on the two have been made with no success. It’s unrelistic to thinkon my part but he needs one on one daily care for anywhere between I’d 6-12 months or longer in an intervention facility. unrealististic on my part as I realize that there’s others in need of help & not just him who can’t be denied because he’s there but equal. Should anyone have suggestions, ideas or could be of help to him I realize one must be caustious when dealing with situations online therefore if anyone would want to give further information let me know through here. I can suppy you with my E-mail address as well as the name, address, and location where he’s at. You may investigate on your own so you’d kown the place is for legit while at the same time allow me to take safety precautions needed for him and the family because of the fact all this is taking place by means of the computer

I don’t know what to make of this- why would she do this to her son?
My hubby comes from a family where alcoholism is rampant among several family members. At least two have died gruesome deaths (esophagus ruptured and relative bled to death- the MD said this was caused by heavy drinking that caused liver failure/tension on the esophagus….), hubby’s uncle is unable to work because his alcoholism is so bad, hubby’s aunt has cirhrosis of the liver from drinking and does not qualify for a liver transplant….

I think you get the picture as to what alcohol has done to his extended family members.

Hubby’s Mom does not drink on a regular basis- maybe a glass of wine for special occasions. Hubby’s dad drinks at least 4 beers (his drink of choice) a day (sometimes more). One time his Mom called my hubby in tears (we live 5 states away) because her husband (hubby’s dad) had gone out on a bender and was severely drunk and irrational when he came home. Hubby’s dad was unfairly accused of something at work which led to this drinking binge. Hubby and his Mom do not think hubby’s dad has a drinking problem because he is employed, doesn’t drink on the job, etc.

In other words, he doesn’t have a drinking problem/dependency like the other family members because he is functional.

When hubby and I were dating, his mom mentioned to me- more than once- that she and her husband were ‘relieved’ (her exact word) when hubby went off to college and started drinking , because they were afraid he would ‘never touch alcohol’ . He was a good kid in high school and didn’t drink. The way it was said to me made me think that his Mom thought he was somewhat ‘nerdy’ for not drinking in high school. Hubby’s Mom even made a point to tell the same thing to MY Mom at one point (my Mom was dumbfounded as to why hubby’s mom even told her this).

Throughout the first few years of our marriage, my hubby’s drinking began to escalate. He was drinking 6 or more (sometimes 8-10) beers every night at home. Even though we were financially strapped he continued to spend close to $75 a week on beer alone. He didn’t think it was a problem.

The stress of this along with other things caused severe strain on our marriage. I was about to leave him and drinking was one of the main factors. Hubby decided he ‘did not want to lose his wife and kids’ (his words) and decided to stop drinking. The week he decided to quit coincided with a visit he had planned to see his parents (I was 8 months pregnant at the time and couldn’t go).

Right before dinner he told his parents he had decided to quit drinking because he felt he had developed a problem. He didn’t mention anything about his Dad’s drinking because he still felt his Dad didn’t have a problem- he was only talking about himself and his decision to quit.

At the dinner table his Mom poured him a glass of wine and pushed in front of him and encouraged him to drink it. She said she didn’t think he had a problem with drinking and all he needed to do was just have a few drinks and then stop himself. Hubby said no, but she insisted.

I am having trouble understanding WHY a mother whose own sister and brother have debilitating drinking problems-which she herself has characterized as terrible- would encourage her son to drink when he has announced that he has a drinking problem and is quitting alcohol altogether.

Why would she do that? What do you make of what she did?

How would i find him He is over 18 and supposedly moved in with a girlfriend. i ran into an ex friend of his who said he is hooked on drugs now but she does not know where he lives. i tried phone books and looking on the internet- no luck She said he was bad off the last time she saw him on hard drugs. Any ideas what I can do for him?

My son went through drug rehab one year ago and is doing great. He has not relapsed at all and has set some quality goals for his life and is pursuing them. He is only 21 years old and is currently in vocational training and cannot afford his own medical insurance at this point in time, but I would like to provide that for him. Does anyone know if he’s eligible since he has a history of drug abuse?

Do they really make you run for hours as posted on the internet, sounds ridiculous and unhealthy for a reocovering addict who is going to be extremely tired for a year or until the drug is out of his system. I’m thinking about having my son go there for is drug addiction but I want to be sure it is the right place. He has excema (skin condition) will they treat it with a prescription cream that works or are they against any type of medicine.
This is a serious meth addiction of 7 years not belly fat

I don/t see him often, but the last few times his nose is runny, eyes are watery, and spends quite a bit of time outside or in the bathroom.

My son was ordered to go to AA meeting by his probation officer, but we don’t know where they are leld. If anyone knows would be very thankful.
