I Am Trying to Help a Friend Right Now. I Need Someone to Help Him, Please Anyone?

Question by fryeindustries2002: I am trying to help a friend right now. I need someone to help him, please anyone?
My daughter met this kid (Jon) online several years ago. I started talking to him about a year ago when he had some problems and didn’t know what to do or where to turn. He is such a sweet kid. I say kid, he was 18, but is a kid to me. I have grown to love him like my own son. He has a big heart and he is very nice.

Can Somebody Please Tell Me How I’m Going to Find Substance Abuse Treatment Centers in Dilley, Texas?

Question by bayleigh lw: Can somebody please tell me how I’m going to find substance abuse treatment centers in Dilley, Texas?
I have a friend who is addicted to Ambien. At first she thought it was ok because it’s a prescription drug, as opposed to illicit ones. However, she has just recently gotten fired from her job because she does poorly and sometimes falls asleep while at work. She’s asking for my help in finding treatment centers and I want to oblige.

Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Depression?

Question by Ali: Alcohol, drug abuse and depression?
I have a younger brother who is 21. He had gotten mixed up with drugs and is now living at home with my parents. It seems that he has substituted his drug use with alcohol abuse. He has gotten VERY violent with my mother and threatened her. Last night he tried to kill himself, but wound up shooting a hole in the wall. My mom is trying to find someone to help him and everyone is telling her that he has to check himself into rehab or therapy due to his age. We live in Colorado. Does anyone know someone we can call in Colorado who can help him. He is not in his right mind and will not allow himself to be checked in anywhere. We love him and want him to be ok and I am VERY worried about my mother as well. Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks.

Answer by Pangolin
Your question doesn’t make sense. And I’m an anesthesiologist. Anesthesia does not precipitate withdrawal, and would probably actually prevent it for a while.

Does Obama’s Admitted Cocaine Use Give Him a Leg Up Over Romney?

Question by John: Does Obama’s admitted cocaine use give him a leg up over Romney?
Aren’t drug users more likely to vote for another drug user? Aren’t they likely to think Obama is “cooler” than Romney?

But then again people that are against hard drugs like cocaine are likely to think Obama’s drug use shows he has poor judgement and a recklessness, weak personality.

Does Obama’s admitted cocaine use help him or hurt him?

And should Romney bring it up?
