My sister tested positive for Methamphetamine by D.F.A.C.S. and I know she uses…?

  • Posted on July 28, 2010 at 4:20 am

My sister tested positive for methamphetamine. I know she is a user and I have tried to help her but I am done she has use for to long. My sister has 3 kids that are 10,12, & 14. I am sick of her using Meth she sells her food stamps and she has not been caught and her past drug test came up negative for any drugs until tonight when D.F.A.C.S. drug tester came by to give her a test she finally tested positive for it but very faint. The guy told her to drink lots of water and he would be back in the morning. 1st of all can he do that? I know it is wrong but I hope she gets caught. She needs help bad. She stays gone for days leaves her kids with me. Sells here only mean for food. And buys dope with her daughters S.S.I. check. She gets over $1200 a month and can’t make it month to month. She expects me to carry her slack. I feel bad most of the time and wind up feeding her & her kids but I put a stop to it this month. Am I a bad person? I feel bad cause her kids don’t have much I don’t have much myself but I will be damned if my kids don’t have food in there mouth. I don’t by my kids new clothes they get used things. My sister wont even make sure her kids have clean clothes for school in the mornings. Also her son was to start High school this year but it is now 3 weeks in the school year and he still has not started because she will not go sign him up. But she can leave all day long for drugs. To make matters worst for him he got a rash which looks like Poisson Ivy or something for over a week. He face is swollen an she wont take him to the hospital. She yells all the time screaming at the top of her lungs at my mother whom we live with. Call here and me every name in the book. On top of it all the house is a HOT MESS. She wont clean when she is high or sober. If she is not gone she always has people over here (her dope head friends). Her man is in jail for attacking me and she has different men that stay over for days. When she has men over or her friends she stays locked up in here room and does nothing for her kids. Every time they come to her door she slams the door on there face if they open it and tells to leave her the hell alone. To make matters worst her old old ex comes over and talks to my husband and me and he tells us all these things about her using her knee pads (his words). My old friend who does drugs with her tells me all these stories about my sister and sex for drugs. I am so done. Tell me am I a bad person for giving up on her? I have done what I can and she is dragging me down. I am trying to move out asap. Any advice?

Methamphetamine Question?

  • Posted on July 27, 2010 at 7:20 am

My daughter is currently living in a home that was used to manufacturer and distribute meth…. Her grandmother went to prison because of this and they are still living there. I recently learned i was the father 6 months ago and my daughter is 4. There is a Guardian At Leitm involved now. I am 100% more stable. What are the chances that this Meth could be affecting my daughter and do GAL’s look down upon the home situation?

How can I help someone come down from methamphetamine induced delusions?

  • Posted on July 25, 2010 at 1:24 pm

My daughter came home and she has obviously been using Methamphetime. She is delusional and thinks someone wants to kill her. I have already taken her to UCLA Harbor and they released her the next day and said it’s from the methamphetamine. They DID NOT give her anything to help. She has no insurance because she wont’ go to school or have a job so I can’t help her there with my job either. Can someone give some advice?

Various Addiction Treatment Programs in Florida

  • Posted on July 2, 2009 at 2:20 pm

Florida is always known for trafficking of drugs. Its geographical situation is quite responsible for this. Drugs are smuggled into the state with the help of several types of automobiles. Various types of drugs such as heroin, cocaine, club drugs, methamphetamine, marijuana, and other pharmaceutical drugs are smuggled into Florida by the drug trafficking organizations.

Incessant trafficking of drugs in Florida has resulted in drug addiction in its people. Drug addiction refers to a situation when a person becomes totally dependent on a drug. It is such a state that the person suffers from several harmful effects. And when the addict tries to get rid of drugs, he may have to suffer a lot to quit this habit. The addict becomes desperate on using the drug. A medical expert uses the term dependence instead of addiction.

Addiction to alcohol is also described as a chronic illness. The addict feels a strong desire for alcohol either constantly or periodically. Addiction to alcohol results in unlimited drinking, rise in the amount of drinking, and feeling physically ill.

There are addiction treatment centers in Florida. Addiction treatment in Florida is so well designed that the patient can lead a hale and hearty life. At the drug rehab, the client is taught how to recognize and reject the harmful tendencies. The rehab also gives them instructions regarding reconstruction of their lives. Addiction treatment in Florida gives the drug addicts a new lease of life.

Several treatment programs are there to make the clients healthy. Detox is the first program. It is done under medical supervision. It is the first step toward recovery. Detox recovers the body from the physical and mental effects of drug or alcohol. Once they become mentally stable, the actual treatment is started. It should be strictly done under medical supervision as some drugs may have a fatal effect and should be eradicated slowly. Drugs are available to control the effect of decreasing levels of certain illegal drugs from the body.

Residential treatment program includes all day care throughout the stay of the patient. Medication and meal is given to the patient. The patient need not leave the campus during treatment. Counseling the patients individually, group and recreational therapy, detox, medical, and psychiatric therapy are included in the rehab program.

The patients are partially hospitalized to give them a chance to adjust to the normal life while undergoing treatment. The patients find it very useful as they try to return to normal life without the help of chemicals. They can work at this stage or attend school or college in the day and attend counseling sessions at night. Regular drug and alcohol tests are done to find whether they have taken drugs. Several spiritual groups and therapies like meditation and yoga makes the client mentally balanced.
The fourth step is the outpatient program that is for the patient who is suffering from relapse. It educates the patient on the mental, social, and physical effect of using alcohol and drugs.

A drug rehabilitation center not only treats the client but also sees that the patients recover fully and remain healthy.

The rehabs at Delray Beach have experienced professionals to look after the addicts and alcoholics. They offer good quality treatment at an affordable cost through counseling and education. They also give stress on the patient’s recovery entirely.
