Drug Addiction Recovery Literature Ideas?

Question by xSweetiex07: Drug Addiction Recovery Literature Ideas?
My mom has 5 months clean from abusing prescription drugs and I would like to buy her a book for her birthday about recovery. She has been regularly attending Narcotics Anonymous meetings, and through that program she has read one book and started another. She is very involved and serious about staying clean. I want to buy her something inspirational, and keep her spirits up. If you have any ideas please let me know! Thanks so much!!!

Answer by impurrfect10
It all depends if they have insurance and what type of insurance. Some will pay for the entire rehab and others will only pay for outpatient treatment. There are free clinics in most states. Call your local hospital and ask to talk to the social worker. They should be able to advise you on free or sliding scale rehab treatment programs. GL

Why Do People Abuse Tramadol?

Question by Monica A: Why do people abuse Tramadol?

Best answer:

Answer by Crazeddoglady
Why do people abuse alcohol, cocaine, heroin, and every prescription pain drug available? Because they can. Addictive personalities must be monitored whenever they are prescribed serious pain meds. Unfortunately many of our doctors are less than enthusiastic about doing this. In fact, a small number of doctors are willing to continue to prescribe through greed (if you pay them under the table they’ll prescribe), laziness or because they are so busy they cannot do a good job. The US Veteran’s Admin. is one of the worst offenders and that’s our tax money at work.
