Drug Addiction Within family…..Need Help?
Question by Sara L: Drug Addiction Within family…..Need Help?
So i have a cousin of mine that well i consider my first one but he is my mom’s. The problem is that he is on drugs constantly and he does all the hard ones from what he has told me this Saturday when i first met him in 15 years. He seemed to be sober at the time, but everyone tells me just wait and see how he does. I just want to see him after i graduate high school and before i leave for college that would mean the world to me. I just wish there was a way to cope with the fact that i can’t help him not do drugs and alcohol. He probably wouldn’t listen to me but all of this came to me in a little bit of time leading up to me actually seeing him face to face. I love him cause he’s family i just wish i could tell him before he gets himself into trouble and goes back to jail for drugs. Help please?

These include drugs like methadone; morphine; hydrocodone, also known as Vicodin; and oxycodone, or OxyContin. Death rates from prescription drugs were highest among people forty-five to fifty-four years old.A recent government report said painkiller deaths more than tripled in the past decade. They now top the number of heroin and cocaine deaths combined. The Obama administration released a plan last year to try to deal with the problem. Some abusers seek help at places like the Malibu Beach Recovery Center near Los Angeles. They learn yoga and other ways to deal with anxiety, stress and pain. Joan Borsten heads the center. She says stopping is difficult because “in the case of pain pills, the body has stopped producing its natural defenses to pain,” and users have to have more and more. Around the country, special drug courts work with addicts to get them counseling and treatment. Mary Ann Gunn is a retired drug-court judge. She now appears on “Last Shot With …
