I live in Arizona and my 18 year old is finally ready for rehab. Meth, alcohol, and marijuana are the substances he`s abused that we`re aware of. He recently tested positive for meth and marijuana on his first test with the local police department (he hadn`t been charged on his first offense, but was placed on a diversion program). He has about 3-4 months before he is formally charged. How do I know which chemical dependency program is best in phoenix and tucson? by Anonymous on 3/30/2010	1 Replies

I have a young brother who is an alcoholic and a drug addict. He spent 5 years in prison, got out, went 2 years attending meetings doing very well. He became smitten with a girl he met at NA and staarted dating her. Everything was fine until he got a job that required him to travel a montha at a time. # times she relapsed while he was gone, they`d break up get back together, then finally he relapsed too. They are now supposesdly broke up and he says he doesn`t want that life and denies doing any ,but I suspect he is lying. Should I confront him with my suspicions, spy on him or just let him be? I know the answers ALAnon gives but I also know he can`t do this he will die or wind up back in prison. Is there anything I can try to do or say that would be helpful to him? by Anonymous on 3/30/2010	1 Replies

After I eat a breakfast that includes green tea, people tell me that my breath smells like alchohol . This is causing me problems at work. Are there foods that can make your breathe smell like alchohol even if you haven`t had a drink? Could it be a gastro reflux problem or some other problem? I have R.A. and Sjogren`s disease. Thank you very much. by Anonymous on 3/30/2010	1 Replies

My son was a heroin addict for 4 yrs, using 25 bags per day (injecting) He was clean for 9 months and now he is taking xanax. I don`t know how much but it makes him talk alot and he is very nice to everyone now. He had back aches and chills yesterday. I am so scared for him. Can you overdose on this? Does it cause you to talk excessively. He thinks it is ok because it is not heroin. Please help me. Thank you by Anonymous on 3/30/2010	1 Replies
