My sister is recently separated from her husband. She and my 16mos. old niece live with my parents, who are supporting her in every way. We are concerned with my sisters serious drug addiction to pain killers, started after the birth of my niece. My sister has a fear if she seeks treatment, the baby will be taken away from her. Is this true? How could that be? If she seeks out treatment, and the 72 hours she is in detox, her family will be taking care of the baby.

Okay, take it this way.
I know it depends on the state, but youre addicted to lets say, heroin, you get arrested under substance abuse charges… how long is your sentence? How bad is the punishment? This is for a project relating to “Treatment, Not Jail For Drug Addicts”.

Do you know where I can find a list of the different drug addiction treatment centers in Oakland, New Jersey? I’ve been looking for my cousin Jake for five months now. He left home and nobody knows where he went. Just recently, I heard from a friend that he is in an addiction treatment center somewhere in Oakland. I really want to find Jake. He’s like a brother to me. Any kind of help is appreciated.

I am witing something freelance and just wondering if anyone can give me an addequite difference between drug abuse and drug addiction.

The definition of an addict is: 1. To cause to become physiologically or psychologically dependent on a habit-forming substance
2. To occupy (oneself) with or involve (oneself) in something habitually or compulsively

Definition of drug abuse: he use of illegal drugs or the inappropriate use of legal drugs. The repeated use of drugs to produce pleasure, to alleviate stress, or to alter or avoid reality (or all three).

The use of a drug for a purpose other than that for which it is normally prescribed or recommended.

the habitual misuse of a chemical substance

They are very similar definitions. Almost the same.

Why are people either classified as a drug abuser or a drug addict? Drug abusers don’t usually get the intese care an addict does. Remember, the definition for addic includes psychological addiction… not just physical.
