it seems like most of my life ive been around drug addiction.like my friends are on cocaine,painkillers,just about most drugs you can think of.lost a friend a long time ago to meth.it caused him to have schizophrenia some crazy stuff to watch.still trying to figure out how to help.rehab is out of the question for the people i know that have these problems.i wasn't sure what category to put this in.they are not afraid to admit they have this problem.so it makes it a lot harder to convince them to stop.for the fact that its in there life style daily.yeah the funny thing is its more than one friend.i used to do drugs,but because of this main reason i stopped.i just smoked weed which is fine with me.im sober all the way because of drug addicts.it just seems like it was meant for me to be around drug addicts for some reason lol.or maybe im a drug addict magnet.i know its nothing to joke about.thats how it seems.

Worried about visiting a therapist about drug addiction being on medical history if I use my health insurance?
I would like to talk to a therapist about some drug addiction and anxieties mild depression issues I have been dealing with recently. I have a good job with health insurance, but I am wondering whether I should use my health insurance to pay for therapy.I already know that HIPPA protects me against them sharing my medical history shared with a therapist with current future employers.What I'm more worried about is that a " black mark" will be placed on my medical history for the rest of my life that other doctors will be able to see. For example If I ever legitimately needed narcotic painkillers for some reason in my future, like if I needed a prescription for pain, a doctor might look at my file and just label me as a " substance abuser" and deny me the treatment I need.Am I being paranoid, or is that a possibility? Because I feel like if I did NOT tell the therapist that I have insurance, and just paid the cash rate I can afford it , then those records would be safe within the walls of my therapist's office & there would be no reason for anyone else to know they even existed, so it wouldn't become a problem for me. But if it's in some health insurance company database, there's a record. And if I needed to switch health insurance companies in the future, maybe they'd look at that and use it to deny me based on a pre existing condition of some sort.

HELP! My sister has a serious drug addiction.?
My sister is 23 and ever since she was about 18 has been doing serious dangerous drugs. She is addicted to heroin and xanax and probably more than i even know about. My mom found needles in her room and gave her an ultimatum of going to rehab, or getting out. Of course my sister gave my mom this sob story and my mom feels bad and is giving her ANOTHER " one more chance." I could not count how many chances she has been given. I don't even talk to my sister for the simple fact that she is a complete different person. It seems my mom has a problem to, because she seems fine just sitting back and letting her daughter slowly kill herself.What do i do? I feel like i'm the only one with common sense.

How do you get someone help with a drug addiction?
Hello Someone very close to me, who is bipolar with other mental disabilities, etc... is addicted mentally, not physically to marijuana, hes generally ok if he has it, but once or twice a year he flips out & breaks something huge & important, SHITS IN THE LIVINGROOM theres no toilet in there , attacks the household pets, burns most of his most loved stuff, says hes going to shoot himself & that he hates everyone, & this time around smashed up the living room & took an axe to the new grill for no reason other than be a jackass & because he doesnt have any for a few days.he has a caseworker for his mental problems which were brought on by the stress of being home ridden due to a serious back injury sustained on the job & his inability to provide income he has done something like this several times & this is his second or third time in a mental facility for psyche evaluation but he called & said he will be out & for everyone to be ready.HOW can you help someone like this that cant help himself? simple incarceration for 4 6 weeks in a drug free environment would fix this & hes been saying for a long time that he wants to quit, but then never follows through.P.S. I fu king kid you not, he has SHIT IN THE F ING LIVINGROOM & IN OUR SHOES BEFORE JUST TO BE AN ASS this is not a joke it sounds funny but its not living with his poopin smashin ass.

How do I help my boyfriend get rid of a drug addiction?(additional details)?
Thank you for your previous answers, but I've noticed that the additional details did not show up, so here's a more complete version He's addicted to legal cocaine and it has very bad effects on him. He wants to quit and he's been off them for 2 weeks now, or at least that's what he tells me. What should I do to make it easier for him?How exactly should I be there for him?He has a tendency towards violence and rejects any help advice whatsoever from anyone...So....what do you think I should do, how can I help him? I tried taking him to a rehab center, it didn't work. I also tried telling his parents about it. A long time ago, he begged me to talk to his parents, if he got really addicted and if it got worse and worse. Which it did, so I talked to them about it and he swears he's been off for 2 weeks. He still has violent tendencies though.Another complication is that he's a cop. From my point of view, this relationship is over, I feel like I deserve much better. But I do love him and I feel it's my duty to help him quit in a way or another.
