Is There Any Kind of Rehab Type Place for People That Are Not Addicts?

Question by ***~***: Is there any kind of rehab type place for people that are not addicts?
Like a mental health facility that someone could go for a week or so that would consist of intensive therapy, like a drug/alcohol rehab would? For people on the verge of a breakdown or something?
Oh, and this is just a question, it’s not me I’m talking about.

If you really feel on the verge of a mental health crisis, see if your area has a women’s mental health crisis centre. You can usually refer yourself, although they will want to be able to contact your GP.

When Hunting Is It Relatively Safe to Eat the Meat You Hunt Raw?

Question by Some Dude: When hunting is it relatively safe to eat the meat you hunt raw?
Considering the fact that the animal you hunt is free to roam in the wild and eats actual food from the wild, rather than being injected with drugs, abused, and forced to stand in knee deep crap at a slaughter house, is it usually safe to eat for example, raw deer that you hunted from the wilderness? As long as it was recently killed and is fresh?

Answer by Vivian
NO! Wild game can be full of parasites that are dangerous. Only thorough cooking can kill both parasites and larvae.

Long story. 5 years ago in Utah I made a left turn to fast at 7am a and high centered my car imidiatly 3 cops were there searching my car doing the breathalizer and all that stuff, couldn’t find anything so took me to the hospital for a blood test ’cause I take meds at night Whoopie big deal. anyway. on the court date I was in the state hostpital and they had a warrent for my arrest. they made a deal that if I went to florida to an eating disorder clinic they would drop everything. Well I did and they didn’t. I moved back home to Georgia. Well now I am back here in Utah and tried to get my liscence renewed and can’t unless I pay a $ 200 fee because I have a DUI. WTF. they will not reopen my case and the funny thing is that the lady I talked to in the courts told me they have on record that my sister spoke with them way back when that I was going into a drug treatment program and that’s why they were dropping it. LOL THat’s news to me. I don’t drink or do drugs.
They won’t repoen the case so I’m screwed there and I called the DMV and they won’t let me do anything so I’m stuck with a DUI on my record and that is sooo embarrassing. What can I do? Please help. Anything I can do? I’m desperate. How can they do this to people? Those police were just bord that morning and wanted someone to mess with.
Sorry. the results on the test were negative. I do not drink or do drugs.

I know I’m getting some great help from people. I hate that you can only pick one best answer. Thank you again.
