Drug Addiction- Prescription?
Question by TommyBBaLL: Drug Addiction- prescription?
My brother is addicted to oxy contin and has been for the passed 7 years. He has messed up repeatedly, and always comes up with a new bullshit story to explain to my mother and stepfather. They have known about his addiction for 4-5 years now but they continue to enable his problem. They pay for his rent and bills in order for him to sell oxycontin so he can take it himself. I try to explain to them that they feed his addiction but they neglect to here what I am telling them. Recently they placed him in a rehab facility where he spent all of 3 days. After rehab they bought him a plane ticket to florida to live with my grandparents in a elderly care facility. They schedule him a plane ticket to come back today, but he missed the plane ticket because he left the facility where my grandparents stay to work for someone which translates to me as hes doing it for his need of drugs. What can my parents do to actually help him out with his problem? I understand its my mothers son and she would do anything for him, but doesn’t it come to a time where enough is enough and you realize its time to let him go through trials and tribulations on his own.
Drug Addicted Family Member?
Question by Blundt Cake: Drug addicted family member?
How do you help someone who refuses to help themselves, even when they are in/out of jail, homeless, jobless, in denial, and don’t think they have a problem???? What do you do? Especially if they call from jail saying they’re being beat up, and then when out on bail, they say they are sleeping on a park bench, wandering around, not eating?
But still say they don’t have a drug problem, they just need “help” (money, car, housing) and say they’ve only used drugs a few times in the last couple of months, like that’s a good thing.
(and this repeats year after year)

My Husband Is Lying to His Therapist and Support Group About His Sex/drug Addictions. What Can I Do?
Question by sd0728: My husband is lying to his therapist and support group about his sex/drug addictions. What can I do?
I am beyond trying to save the marriage, but am concerned about his role as father to our young child. He has done inappropriate sexual things in front of our son. I’ve already sent him to rehab, and he lied there, too, conning the staff and other patients. Since he was self reporting, there was no accountability.
