Dealing With a Family Members Addiction to Ambien PLease Help?
Question by smaceroni: Dealing with a family members addiction to Ambien PLease help?
OK my sister has been addicted to Ambien for about 4 years now. She has through detox and rehab twice and hasnt gotten better. She is still very much addicted and supoosed to be going into another detox/rehab. She has been supposed to go nor for 2 weeks but everyday comes up with new excuse or chickens out. I have been supportive or encouraging but now its getting hard for me to be that way cause it hard for me to believe that she is actually going to go. She gets mad when I try to give her “tough love”. She gets mad that my parents and I never went to some type of counseling to learn about her problem. She says that since I have never been addicted I dont know what its like. I understand that, but it doesnt take a rocket scientist to know that its going to be pure hell to go through detox and rehab and stay clean. I just dont know what to do or say to her anymore. Has anyone been in this situation? What should I say or do? She is 34 and Im 26
What Is the Best Pediatric Headache Clinic in the United States?
Question by OMEtwilight: What is the best pediatric headache clinic in the United States?
I have suffered severe migraines/headaches/TMJ since I was in elementary school, and I am currently 16 where they are just getting worse. I am seeing a neurologist and he said that my only hope is to see a headache specialist since he has done all he can for me (I have been on every type of medicine under the sun, I promise). I don’t mind the distance (I am from South Carolina), I just want the best headache specialist that can either diagnose me, treat me, or see if other illnesses I have are related.
The Miami Children’s Hospital has come up a lot, is it worth it or are there better ones in Minnesota (Mayo Clinic) or New York/Boston?
Medicine I have taken is Maxalt-MLT and the pill version, Topomax and all its cousins, Barbiturates (with Codeine and Tylenol and whatever else), LoPressor and everything related to it, Advil, Tylenol, Aleve, every sinus medicine, Imitrex, all over the counter caffeine pills, glucose tablets, etc
I have taken so much medicine over the years that I have forgotten all that I have taken (especially those that my doctor gave as mini trials that never worked)

Answer by Cliff Schaffer
The two surveys that cover this are Monitoring the Future and the Household Survey on Drug Abuse. An internet search will turn up various links to them. You will probably not find extensive stats that predate the Internet age.
Before you look for them, you should understand that there are a number of problems with the surveys.

In Newton, Texas, How Will I Get to Find Drug Rehabs?
Question by avianna ig: In Newton, Texas, how will I get to find drug rehabs?
I want to be able to help people who are suffering from their substance abuse disorder. I want to find drug rehabs that will be able to give me information on how I’m going to be able to work for them as a counselor. I’m currently taking up psychology, and I really want to get into this since one of my relatives died from heroin addiction.
