Son Abusing Oxycontin Any Other Choices?
by Judith
I have a son 28 yrs old, paraplegic for 6 years in 2003 car accident, in 2006 he started abusing his pain medication, snorting his Vicodin, in 2007 he prescribed to take 20mg of Oxycotin and began to snort those pills he was prescribed 60 pills and would use up quickly.
In 2009 he is prescribed 180 Hydrocodones, and 90 – 30mg of
Oxycotin.
Lyrica 150mg prescribed 60 pills total 320 pills for long term, break through and nerve pain. He abuses his pills sometimes when he runs out he
turns to alcohol.
Is there medication that not a narcotic that can help, and I know he needs treatment too.

A Toxic Couple
by Pat
I know some people who are in a long term relationship where both parties suffer from an addiction. The
relationship is in grave trouble financially and spiritually.I am not sure if both want help.
Is there any way for them to get help without entering
re-hab?
The addiction is to crack cocaine. They both work and cannot afford to enter a rehab but i know they are in trouble and need help.
They do not know where to turn.

subutex/suboxone addiction
by your mom
(your hometown, Pa.)
My 23 yr old son has been shooting up these pills for the past I believe 4-5 years, the family did not know that he was using to this extent, we knew he was into something but, did not know it was this bad.
His vocational rehab coach thinks he needs therapy, and I feel this also, but,he has chosen to go out patient where they give him a prescription for the same drug he is addicted to ?? does this make any sense?
I do not understand this method of treatment. I am terrified that I will find my son dead from his own needle.
He was recently arrested the 2nd time for possession.
I feel helpless.
I am loosing my son right before my very eyes and cannot seem to get through to him, actually sometimes, I feel he is not my son as I know him but, a drug addict, because my son was not raised this way, what makes people turn to this lifestyle?
I keep asking myself why? What can I do to end this madness his life has become?
He is still trying to convince us that he does not have a problem, with track marks running up and down both arms. They are old he claims, if that is the case how long does it take for those to heal and go away?
I just wonder since we did not even know what track marks looked like to begin with, I think they should publish pictures of those along with the needles, pills, tourniquet material so naive people know what they are looking for.
That was the first time I ever saw a ‘track’ mark in my life I had no clue that it would look like that. I feel that I need someone to talk to along with my parents and a couple other family members that are having a rough time dealing with this and do not know how to help save him from himself if that is even possible.

What can we do?
by Helen
I have a brother, 30 years old, who has struggled with drug addiction for over 12 years and has only been sober for 2 years, at most. He recently got out of prison, served 4 years, and he started using drugs again. I am really heartbroken, because he is putting our family through hell, worse than it’s ever been. He is putting my parents’ health at risk. My brother claims that he will quit within two weeks, but of course, no one believes him.
What is the best approach in trying to help him overcome this atrocious illness?
Should we threaten to kick him out again if he
is not willing to stop?
It is so difficult, almost impossible to try talk to him in a decent mannar.
He attacks everyone and goes insane, threating that he will leave and not come back. Please help, I am desperate. I don’t want him to die, either on the streets, or by his addiction, nor do I want my parents and myself as well to suffer like this.

My brother is addicted to Opiates
(Baltimore, MD)
My brother is addicted to Opiates and is currently living w his wife and 10 year old son.
She is in need of help now, he is spinning out of control, not a good husband and not a good father.
Can you recommend treatment facilities to offer to him?
She wants to do an intervention with him and include all of us -his family.
Can you recommend a Dr. or facility that she can turn to for help? We are feeling a little helpless.
We live in Baltimore MD 21204 zip code area.

Ok, what do you do when it’s a doctor who is writing his own prescriptions?
He writes them in family members’ names and then goes and picks them up……a endless supply of prescriptions…..
