Should I Go on Suboxone for a Poppy Tea Addiction?
Question by theheatheatwave: Should I go on suboxone for a poppy tea addiction?
I am addicted to poppy tea. I take 8-14 grams of powdered poppy pods a day. This is equivalent to about 18 mg of Oxy a day— though I do not take oxy as it make me feel too swimmy and I don’t like to buy things on the street that might be stolen/fake. When I take less than 8 mg of poppy powder I have withdraws: nightmares, sweating, very painful tummy like being stuck with knives, sore joints, crankiness, suicidal thoughts (I know better than to act on them, of course), depression, no appetite, feeling worn-out and unable to work or care for myself. (Even taking a bath sounds like too much work.) I have tried to quit *three* times twice on my own and once with my husband’s help through a slow taper. But, when I get down to the low levels around 6-5mg a day, the withdraws just seem to keep building then stress from work makes me snap and I give in to the desire to take more poppy powder to make the withdraws go away so I can get my work done. (That’s what I tell myself.. but deep inside I just feel weak and like a failure.)

Can You Help Me Find My Brother a Drug Rehab Center That Is Free or Super Inexpensive?
Question by Texan~to_the-Max: Can you help me find my brother a drug rehab center that is free or super inexpensive?
My brother who has no insurance has been abusing legal and illegal drugs and goes on drug trips that land him in the loony bin a few times. He regains his senses and quits talking to the voices and himself and they let him go. He has had a pattern of proven illegal drug use or evidence of legal drug abuse like empty Nyquil bottles and alcohol containers every time he goes on one of his “trips”. We call them mental breakdowns for a lack of better term. He has been picked by police so many times and delivered to the psychic ward several times and they want to treat him like a bi-polar patient. The evidence is that he is a drug addict. His first mental breakdown was when he admitted to mixing Mary Jane with PCP and the legal half of Pen-Phen. 3 weeks he was a babbling idiot and thought he was Jesus and even tried to heal another patient. His drug trips are shorter now, but no less scary and he tend to run away whether on foot or car and disappears on us.
