I have to agree. I dislike seeing people put into jail for using drugs. Especially something like marijuana (which will be legal very soon). If a person does have a bad drug problem then they should be given help/rehab. Not put in jail..

My Daughter Needs Drug Rehab but We Can’t Afford It, Any Suggestions?

Question by bumble100bee: my daughter needs drug rehab but we can’t afford it, any suggestions?
My daughter is addicted to heroin, we cant afford drug rehab. Rehab costs about $ 7500.00 a month. She has been arrested twice. I have been trying to help her but there is nothing I can really do. Heroin is a bad drug to withdrawal from, and she is trying to do it herself. She doesn’t have insurance and I am on such a tight budget. Without help the chances are she will start using again. She gets violent when she is trying to withdrawal. I worry because she has a two-year old girl and I don’t want my grandchild to be raised around it. I pay for the baby to go to the sitter. Her boyfriend, (the babies father) is no help because he is addicted too. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I noticed the the nasty answers, let me clarify, Childrens services is involved. My daughter and grandchild live with me and I pay for and take her to the sitter everyday. There is no help where I live at. She is not on parole so I cant go to the court for help. This is the first time in weeks I have been on my computer, thank you, and I got it to get her some help.

What Do I Do About My Mom’s Drinking Problem?

Question by Rachel: What do I do about my mom’s drinking problem?
My mom has had a drinking problem for as long as I can remember. Last year she sat me down and tried to talk to me about it, but I still don’t understand why she has this problem and what I can do to help. She used to only get drunk on the weekends or at parties and stuff, but lately it seems like almost everyday she’ll come home from work drunk or I’ll come home and find her drunk. I want to tell her to just stop or get help or something but I don’t know how. I want her to go to rehab or a program that will help her or something because I get so frustrated when she gets drunk and I can’t do anything about it. Please help me!

Can anyone tell us what she can expect to happen to her?
