What Do You Do if Youre in a Treatment Center and They Wont Let You Leave.?

Question by danie rae: what do you do if youre in a treatment center and they wont let you leave.?
my brothers girlfriend is in az in an eating disorder center and they are lying to her telling her that her family isnt trying to help her and they need to keep her and she cant leave and theyre medicating her. how do we help her from home in idaho?
ok no she is of age and has been doing exceptionally well in the program until the facility found out that her church had given them 20,000 to help her she was doing well enough to leave her parents are on the same page as us this question is coming from all of us
and another thing they have her on trazadone and she went there voluntarily to fix her problems
also we talked to an eating disorder helpline who said that they should not be medicatiing her, that the goal is to get her off of all the meds and help her deal with the issue herself. she has completed the program with 100 percent in everything coming from her and the staff once the staff fund out they had another 20,000 towards her they suddenly found all these reasons to keep her
appearantly i need more details she went because she wanted to her parents were against it at first she is 20 years old and has been there for a month now
on top of all of that if she wanted to leave she would need her id which the facility has locked up with her personal belongings and isnt willing to return to her she is in az and home is id. so even if she grew the balls to just walk out the facility has her plane ticket and id

Drug Addicts or Former Drug Addicts, Please Help.?

Question by ***: Drug addicts or former drug addicts, please help.?
My husband is picking small fights with me and our 9yr old. He’s been using cocaine on and off for 3 yrs. For the most part when he hasn’t been using he has either been locked up in a rehab or doing jail time. What I’m trying to understand is if drug users look for any excuse to use and why? What do I say to him during these situations where he acts irrational and threatens to go use? I’m almost 6 months pregnant and need a drug free environment for my family. Any suggestions on how to cope, understand, or approach this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks- Lauren

Chronic Pain and Drug Addiction…please Help.?

Question by Scooter: Chronic pain and drug addiction…please help.?
I have a friend whose son takes medication for a legitimate chronic pain. He is also, unfortunately addicited to several illicit drugs, and was already a heavy drinker when he was injured. Does anyone know of a treatment facility geared to handle drug addicition and pain management. Everything here has failed. The family doctor is concerned for his life.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The pain medication is prescribed by a doctor and is absolutely neccessary. He is under the care of competant pain management. The problem is most treatment facilities are only set up to get the drugs out of you. They aren’t set up to try and determine which ones need to really stay in you. we need advanced drug and alchohol treatment combined with pain management.

What if a Person Only Has a Low Income? How Can He Find a Good Addiction Treatment Program?

Question by amber ns: What if a person only has a low income? How can he find a good addiction treatment program?
I know that programs like these are really costly. What about those people who really want to change but just can’t stop because of withdrawal symptoms and can’t afford to have themselves rehabilitated at treatment centers? Is there a solution to this problem?
