What Will a Doctor Do When Notified of a Patients Prescription and Other Drug Abuse?

Question by k f: What will a doctor do when notified of a patients prescription and other drug abuse?
My sister is heavily addicted to her prescription drugs (fentanyl patch, xanax, and other assorted pain pills) along with bathsalts and meth. I called her doctor and informed them of her addiction because I am worried about the drugs interacting with each other. Does the doctor have to stop prescribing that stuff once informed of a problem or did I waste my breath informing them?

Can Anyone Give Me Books About Things Like Drug Abuse Etc?

Question by [email protected]: Can anyone give me books about things like drug abuse etc?
Books that cover subjects like drug abuse, teen sex, sexual abuse, abuse, suicide, drinking, etc?
I’m really interested in things like that for some reason.
I’ve read Crank, which I’m sure someone is bound to mention so I thought I’d throw that out there, and currently I’m reading Smack.
