What ALL Are Your Options for Drug Addiction Treatment?

Question by ddti: What ALL Are Your Options for Drug Addiction Treatment?
I have a VERY close family member who is a drug addict. I myself DO NOT enable him in ANY way! Not 5 dollars, not a ride here or anything at all. But I DO have several family members who DO enable him!!! It is so frustrating that they are still enabling his addiction. My question is What all options do we have for treatment for him. He has been to 3 rehabs. I wondered if it could be treated medically???

My Ex Was Charged With Possession of Cocaine but Can Help Explain Why and What These Abbreviations Stand For?

Question by Chloe: My ex was charged with possession of cocaine but can help explain why and what these abbreviations stand for?
They found a crack pipe in his hotel room in Georgia. He was charged with PSS/Sel/Pur/MA VGCSA. What does all that stand for? He was charged with a felony but it was just a pipe with residue of cocaine. Why wasn’t he just charged with paraphenalia? The paperwork says something about the “Georgia Controlled Substances Act”. He also was charged with obstruction because he tried to reach for something twice on his bed (he did NOT have any weapons) after being told to remain still. He was subsequently thrown to the ground and suffered a concussion. His prior record was a DUI one year ago and check forgery 13 years ago and that’s it. He also isn’t from Georgia and was travelling. He lives in New York. What kind of time could he be facing? Could he possibly just be ordered to do some sort of drug treatment program, community service, and work with probation in his own state? THANKS for any help. He is basically a decent guy and he’s been clean for a long time but just relapsed. We are still good friends and I’m worried for him.

Does Anyone Know of Any Free Drug/alcohol Rehabs in So Cal?

Question by Skull Boy: Does anyone know of any free drug/alcohol rehabs in So Cal?
I have a nephew that has a really bad alcohol and speed addiction. He’s been in the emergency room several times over the past two years and almost died the last time. He needs to go a rehab center, but the family can’t afford it. Does anyone know of any free rehab centers in So Cal? He lives in Victorville CA, but will travel if needed. It needs to be a place where he can stay. Out patient won’t work for him I’m afraid.
