How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

any advice? i cant get him to the doctor he cant see he has a problem. im very worried

My 4 yr old grandsons mother has gone off on another drug binge and again says she does not want him, my son needs custody, how do we register him for school with her not around, we don’t know what the next step should be, how do we legally handle things when we don’t know where the mother is? School starts in our area in 2 weeks.

We’re really strapped for cash. My husband got fired from his job because they discovered that he’s using heroin. My income alone will not be enough to get him into a drug rehab. One of my three sons is already working, but he’s already got his own family to feed so I really can’t ask for too much. We have no relatives nearby and I don’t know anyone whom I could turn to for financial assistance. Can anybody give me ideas on how I can put my husband through drug rehab? And please don’t say I need to get a part-time job, because I’m already doing that every spare time I’ve got.

in order to get my son out of dcf custody i need to get off the meds i am prescribed by my dr. i don’t drink or use any illegal drugs just the ones im prescribed .problem is i cant go into in patient rehab for 7 days or i will lose my home and job.so i need opinions on suboxen and if it works cuz i just need it for 3-5 days cuz that’s what they give you at detox where they want me to go ,and is there a bad detox off of that drug as well or is there something over the counter i can take to get them out and not Just mask it for the drug test i want 2 be copletly drug free amd work a na program please help me someone i beg you

I don’t know who to talk to or what to do i’m affraid of going to the authorities i don’t want him arrested . I thought about telling to join Teen Challenge they say thats a good group but i can’t find them in Orlando FL i can’t afford to pay to put him somewhere i’m a single mom. I need help or advise . Thank you Martika

Years of fighting doctors that have him hooked, mood swings, depression, living in a fog, can’t focus, behavior problems that showed up when he started these chemicals at two years old – but it doesn’t “exist” and I’m a “bad parent”. It’s clearly stopping him from accomplishing what HE wants to do in life, the talents he has are not coming out as they should.

Yes, I’ve been all over the FDA website, was on this years ago regarding Singulair that they FINALLY acknowledged as a major problem in many adolescents, but he just gets shoved from one to another. I try to take him off, use food high in antioxidants & anti-inflamatories, lots of vitamin C, but I can’t keep up or control it nor influence him.

I need to find an experienced way that works. He can’t function without these meds now. Playing the trumpet & clearing lungs works, but he’s so fogged, with “A.D.D.” that comes out as O.D.D., so he resists any homeopathic or natural approach. Not a “controlling parent”, just very concerned as I watch this bright kid lose himself – he’s essentially a drug-addict with the help & blessings of pediatricians over the past 15 years, and I’m just a “dingbat”. But I have watched this correlation between behavior patterns and increased chemical usage for 15 years now, it’s so obvious to me but I cannot convince anyone else.
Tired of this pill factory this country has got us on – any tried & true suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Any direct messages to this young man would also be very helpful – my sole voice & efforts have diminishing returns – no good at this point – I’m a “nag”.

Don’t try to sell me anything. Looking for real people who have managed their symptoms or weaned themselves or a loved one off of this stuff.

Thanks much.
Thxs Aeriol- We’ve been thru specific allergies tests, no change in protocol.Asthma has never been acute enough to land him on a nebulizer, but only once 10 years ago.Clearing his lungs via exercise & trumpet works well, but sitting or laying down causes him to cough during allergy season especially.It strongly appears that his body has been relying on these chemicals for so long, that he does need to be re-trained.Switching doctors in July, we’ll see if we can’t get a different approach as you’ve suggested.For any parent with a young child with mild asthma, BE WARNED about this chemical cycle that many doctors put your kids on.There is more data to back up my “gut” feelings about this, I’m no genius, but somebody’s making a lot of money off of these meds & doctors go along with it.Took me 4+ years to get the FDA to support my concerns re: SIngulair & it cost my son, as he lived in a “cloud”, basically “stoned”. With the new “healthcare reform”,it’s only going to get worse. Thx.

I started doing a colon detox this morning. I drank the drink and took one of the morning pills and was fine all day. I just took the 2nd pill dose and all of a sudden had a hot flash throughout my entire body. I also took 2 tylenol for my headache and a benadryl to help me sleep. My head hurts and I feel tingly all over! I am scared! I’ve just moved to a new state. I’m home alone with my son and I don’t know any of my neighbors! My fiance is out of town! I’ve had anxiety attacks in the past but this feels different. My whole neck and shoulders and down my arms tingle…. what should I do?
Believe me this is the last time I use this stuff. I feel much better now!

My son goes over there on weekend (court ordered). I found out in september that my son’s uncle is living there with him and he is recovering from meth. How can I get my son’s dad to realize that his brother in law is a meth addict and will always be one

My step-son is 25. Four years ago, he was caught with Marijuana at our home and said he had only tried it once. My son also has Type 1 Diabetes. Two weeks ago, he went to the hospital and was throwing up. When we asked him about it, he said he had not been checking his blood sugar regularly. When asking around to his friends, we found out he had been taking Cocaine. When confronting him about it, he said he stopped about 6 months ago. He is a big kid (6’2″ and normally 170 pounds). We have not seen him since May and he always says he is too busy to come to our home. He sleeps a lot and is depressed. I don’t know what I can do. He lives with his mom and my husband and I have spoken with her. She agreed to give him drug tests every once in a while, but I just do not think she will. I think he is scared to come to our home in fear he will get one. Even if he did come up, the drugs only stay in your system 1-2 days. What should I do?

I need a little help and i am going to make this as short as possible.i have a 20 year old son that has been in a toxic relationship with this girl who just turned 18 in November.To say the least the girl has several mental issues, depression, low self esteem are her high points.They started to go out in january 2008, come to find out she was dating a drug dealer and was already at 16 hooked on drugs. My son told her she had to quit and agreed but that was of course BS. they went out until march of 2009 she broke up with him because she cheated on him at a drug hose party.They were broke up until this September. She claims to going to counseling and is off the drugs. When she came back into my hose she was bone thin and saw her have the shakes several times. The relationship was not the best and around Thanksgiving she did her usual MO. Which is she finds somebody who she thinks is more interesting cheats with that person dumps my son and in a few months it does not work out and she comes crying back to my son and like an idiot he takes her back.His best friend is Guatemalan and very Street smart and he was telling me this girl lied about being off drugs and that she is snorting Roofies, vicaden, oxy cotton, adderal and taking Ecstasy. My sons friend really hates the girl for all the grief she has been giving my son.His friend says she is bleeding from the nose which means its coming from her brain and that the problem will be solved and world will be less on junkie.The question is is my sons friend right is this girl headed for a early grave.He gives her two years.I don’t like the girl but i don’t want her dead i want her scared straight. the other question i have is their any help for her or is she to forgone at this point.. thanks

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.

i have looked into many rehabs in order to send my son so that I can help him get off of heroin. I have heard a lot about “drug-free detox” and rehab centers…can anyone let me know of a good one?

Have looked into Narconon…really like it but would like some feed back.

Thanks
