One thing is a rehab i nyour area will probably never work. he needs to be relocated to a whole new environment, for reasons that are as follow--- NO FRIENDS ACCESS, NO DEALER ACCESS, NOWHERE to hide, if he leaves or escapes rehab.....He will then just be broke and homeless or in jail. SOmetimes that is what they need to hit rock bottom. As long as he is in his neighborhood----he will continue to relapse with temptation, security, and enablers...
Same thing I said, and she is absolutely right.
NO FRIENDS ACCESS, NO DEALER ACCESS
If theres any way he can get dope, he will. And he doesnt need a ride, or money, or anything, to get dope or to get to dope, or to just get high.
he needs to be relocated to a whole new environment
He has to be taken away from the dope, and all the dope friends, and connects, or he CAN, and most likely WILL still get high.
As long as he is in his neighborhood----he will continue to relapse with temptation, security, and enablers.
His connect doesnt want him to quit doing dope, so hes not gonna stay away from James, if he can help it. Besides, hes already JUST GIVEN James enough dope now, to where James thinks thats his homeboy, and takes care of him.
And what the other poster said about just seeing a straw, a glass pipe for me, a small baggie, or even a bic ink pen
You take out the inners, and they are a perfect hollow, plastic, tube.Than you apply heat to one end, so the plastic extends, and it fits onto the pipe perfectly. We hollow those out to make an extender, when the pipe gets too short.Or you break them, or the bowl gets pitted from alot of use. Which makes your dope burn up faster, so you have to get a new one. I blew my own, with a large torch. I used glass air freshners, washed em out good, took off the label, and blew the closed end into a bubble, and lastly blew a hole in the top of the bubble, Voila, glass pipe, for $1.00, instead of one you have to buy already made for $5.00. Im not trying to do Meth 101 here, but I am explaining all this so you will understand why something as simple as a bic pen, is disturbing to me. Once your an addict, you will always still think about dope from time to time. The desire is still always there, somewhere in the back of your mind. So if I see a glass pipe, or a small baggie, or a bic pen, I still get a sick feeling in my stomach and instantly picture myself smokin dope. Ive been told by some people it does eventually go away, and by others that it never does. Im not gonna lie. Getting high feels really good. You have all this energy, everything seems positive, all your worries just fade away, and you feel happy, if your a chick, you stay nice and thin, cause you dont eat alot, and when you look in the mirror, you look MUCH BETTER,than when you look in a mirror, coming down, or not using.Also it kills pain. If you had a toothache, its gone. If your suffering over a broken heart, its gone. If you fall down and break you leg, you hardly feel it. It makes you feel mentally and physically very strong. Thats why cops have such a hard time taking down even a small guy whos on Meth. Thats why dope is pure evil Simones idea of calling Intervention, is brilliant! Do it!! |

2kIDS, i DONT know if you have heard of the show intervention. I watch it a lot. One thing is a rehab i nyour area will probably never work. he needs to be relocated to a whole new environment, for reasons that are as follow--- NO FRIENDS ACCESS, NO DEALER ACCESS, NOWHERE to hide, if he leaves or escapes rehab.....He will then just be broke and homeless or in jail. SOmetimes that is what they need to hit rock bottom. As long as he is in his neighborhood----he will continue to relapse with temptation, security, and enablers.... Maybe you can contact the show....they can sponsor his treatment in another state...Its called Intervention. They deal with all types of addiction, from DRUGS, ALCOHOL, SHOPPING, GAMBLING, AND EVEN PLASTIC SURGERY...trust me, youd be surprised...what people can be addicted to, CLEPTO'S even This show is excellent and rehabs DO work. The problem is that once you leave and go back to the old area, BAM all the triggers are back and most people relapse. If you do put your son in rehab, there are a few things that might help. Before he goes, ask him to take you to the places he goes to get high...take pictures. Have him take pictures of the people he gets high with and his drug tools. Lots and lots of pictures of everything and anything he associates with his drug, or even places he went or things he did high. Then when he's in rehab, start showing him the pictures after the drugs are detoxed out of his system. His brain will see the pictures and the urge will be very, very strong but he will be in a place with no access to the drug. Keep doing it repeatedly. Each time the pictures are shown and the drug does not follow, the associations weaken. This is called exposure therapy. Over time, the anxiety lessens when you see the picture and eventually, after enough exposure, you don't feel the anxiety you used to feel, meaning the craving is gone. You have basically rewired the brain. I know it sounds complicated and a bit unorthodox but knowing what I know about the brain, this is how it works and will give your son the best chance at staying clean. I tried hard to explain this without technical terms and although it's complicated I believe it will work. It works to overcome fear and from what I've learned, I think it will work with addiction too. Also related to this is something called biofeedback. Look into it and see if they can teach your son this method. It would be especially helpful to use it during the exposure therapy. It teaches you to recognize the signals that your brain/body gives off as you prepare for the drug. Our bodies want to stay balanced...something called homeostasis. When we first take the drug, we get really high and our brain goes WTF was that? After repeated use, it begins to recognize ahead of time that the drug is coming (from the cues in the environment) and reacts by initiating opposite effects of the drug. This is why it takes more and more of a drug to experience the same high the longer you use...a phenomenon known as tolerance. If you get high, your brain will tell your body to release natural chemicals that depress your system in a kind of proactive effort to counteract the effects of the drug that will soon be coming. Alcoholics get happy when they see a bottle. Meth and coke addicts get depressed when they see a pipe or envelope and don't have the drug. This is also why you get drunker off your normal six pack when you drink in a place you've never drank before and why overdoses usually happen in a novel environment. The cues that normally produce the counter-reaction aren't there so when the person administers the amount of the drug they typically use, the system is shocked and can't handle it. (You read about superstars ODing in hotel rooms all the time...chances are they did their normal dose but didn't know their body wouldn't be able to handle it in new surroundings!)Biofeedback teaches you to recognize the signals your body gives off...heart rate increasing, muscle contractions, those kind of things. Again, I know this is complicated stuff but I'm trying to put it in layman's terms for you. I hope this info helps. When you're looking for rehabs, ask if they use biofeedback. Talk to the doctors about my idea with the pictures and exposure therapy. These two things could make a major difference in his ability to stay clean when he comes home. Best wishes for you and your son.
