My boyfriend needs help very bad. He's hooked on methamphetamine and its already affecting our relationship and his job too. I am afraid that something bad might happen to him. What's the best drug rehab at the Bronx?
There are actually a lot. You can call the Nationwide Addiction Assistance Helpline for more information about drug addiction and rehabilitation. Or you can also avail of counseling services in your area. The people there can give you great advice on the best treatment for your boyfriend.
I realize that it varies from person to person, but statistically, what are the chances?
statistically, i have no idea, but i think everyone has a 50-50 chance of overcoming the addiction, i think it all depends on the person addicted to it & how much they really want to overcome it, sounds cheesy but its really true.
It's very painful to look at how this drug has negatively impacted everyone in the addict's circle of friends and family. I'm feeling that recovery will be both challenging and rewarding for the crystal meth addict. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, strength and hope.
Feeling like you cant function right, feeling empty and like something is missing will be there. Also some depresion, mood issues posibly. Cravings for it will be awfull but after a while they will lesson. If you went to a rehabilitaion center then you are usually able to go one a week or so, that is very helpfull and you get lots of support and encouragement. Do that its great. It will be hard but eventually you will be in controll of your life again. Ive been in recovery now for 6months and i am so happy this person decided to quit, its a really good thing. Good luck and i wish the best for them. Have lots of faith in yourself!
The website below offers some great ideas and programs. I have a friend who is in the process of breaking a meth addiction. It's a one day at a time proposition - he goes to support groups - not sure about diet and exercise. None that I can tell. Good luck to you.
The Facts and Effects of bMethamphetamine Addiction/b and Pregnancy b.../b
Methamphetamines abuse (which includes crystal meth, speed and Ecstasy) can create serious health problems, but methamphetamine addiction and pregnancy is an especially dangerous combination. Using meth creates anxiety, increased blood pressure and heart rate, exhaustion, poor judgment, poor personal hygiene, and mental disorders such as psychosis and depression. For an expectant mother these symptoms can be seriously harmful to not only herself but to her unborn baby as well. Anytime you take a drug during pregnancy it’s important to remember that your baby is taking the drug as well. Toxins from the drug will pass through your placenta and into the baby, potentially creating growth and birth defects in utero and painful withdrawal symptoms after birth. Other problems pregnant women with an addiction encounter are a decreased appetite and increased exposure to dangerous people and environments. This can lead to poor nutrition, which directly affects the growth of your baby, and can put you in violent and dangerous situations when you’re trying to score drugs.
