Is There a Link Between Child Abuse and Drug Abuse?

Question by sarah: Is there a link between child abuse and drug abuse?
I was just curious, if I person is abused as a child (sexually, emotionally, physically) then will it lead to substance abuse (drugs, alcohol, etc.) later in their life?

Answer by Daisy ???
No, drug abuse is a choice. In drug rehabs and therapy these days they almost encourage people to “remember” the abuse.. it MUST have happened. Even if it didn’t.

Bottom line, even the most abused, neglected child can overcome it and become a successful person. Choosing drugs and then blaming it on the abuse is a cop out.

Where Is Drug Abuse Worst in the U.S.?

Question by Hawks fan 206: Where is drug abuse worst in the U.S.?
Any data would be great

Best answer:

Answer by Alexander
I assume that the increased availability of drugs is where the greatest amount of harm is. drugs become bad when people don’t receive medical treatment. Since drugs can be shipped anywhere and access to health care is unfair, the worst problem is in large neighborhoods where many teens are on probation for drug related crimes.

Can My Insurance Cover an Inpatient Addiction Program 100% ?

Question by khamla95: Can my insurance cover an inpatient addiction program 100% ?
I have Aetna insurance under my father, and last night i got ahold of a drug treatment facility to check into an inpatient rehab clinic for my prescription drug addiction. The woman gave me lots of info and took my insurance and called the insurance company to get an approval and when she called back today she said they will cover the 28-day inpatient program 100% with no expense to me, (The Holistic Addiction Treatment Center that is shown on shows like intervention and such…) she even said they would cover the flight to the center (It is in florida and I am located in Ohio where there are no covered treatment centers)

Answer by Lisa
don’t do it. Even if it’s not legal does not mean you can’t get it. Snorting novocaine can kill you or leave you brain dead. Just because the name has “caine” in it does not mean it will get you high and as for whats the leathal dose, everyone has diffrent levels of tolarance and also depends on how much other abuse has been inflicted on the body and how much more it can take.

Answer by stick man
I’m on the kansas version Medicaid. I have never used it though. Does his booklet that came with Medi-cal list the drug treatment programs? Or could his social security worker tell you who would take him for rehab? In the KS book there was a short list of who would treat drug/alcohol abuse.

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)
