Is It True That You Can Apply for SS Disability After 3 Rounds of Rehab for Addiction?

Question by ravenjudge: Is it true that you can apply for SS Disability after 3 rounds of rehab for addiction?
One of my clients was bragging to another that he would be eligible if he went through another stay. (Texas, Florida, Vermont, California)
Johnny, I hear people every day BRAGGING that they fooled the SS Admin.
Folks, I am aware that lots of people get it that don’t deserve it. I also know that you can apply even if you have no expectation of receiving. However, apparently in certain states, this is allowed as a disability. So, anyone with some solid info, please help me out; I am trying to push vocational rehab here!!!

My Brother Has a Major Drug Problem, Does Anyone Know of a Good Treatment Center in Florida That Is Low Cost?

Question by rms2323: My brother has a major drug problem, Does anyone know of a good treatment center in Florida that is low cost?
My brother is 30 years old and has been an addict since he was 13. Over this time period I would say he’s collectively had about 2 years sobriety, I am 26 and a recovering addict for a little over 4 years now. My father passed away 2 years ago from methadone overdose. So I know the right things to do, I’ve been in plenty of rehabs. Here’s the problem, my Mom and my Sister-in-law are in complete denial and the worst enablers, and my brother is super slick and manipulative, so he gets whatever he wants. We own a family restaurant so we all work together and it’s to the point where my brothers actions are affecting our business. He’s been arrested twice in the last 6 months…once for hitting me (which my family sided with him…CRAZY…this is how in denial they are), and the second for numerous narcotic felony charges and possibly a gun charge (if his record is not clean of a felony he got 10 years ago). The drugs he’s been taking consist of aderrall, clonopin, HIGH STEROID ABUSE, blood pressure meds, some drug called molly, possibly bath salt, and now I think he’s back on opiates(roxys). He’s kind of a special case because of the steroid abuse. My family is now starting to agree with me that he needs help but we dont know where to begin. $ 10,000 we can afford, but anything over that is pushing it. I wish I could call Dr. Drew right now, but I cant so I need help. I live in Fort Myers, and the treatment centers here aren’t that great. PLEASE ANY HELP I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE…WE ARE AT OUR LAST STRAW

Good luck with that. They will probably try everything else before they try weed. It may become a huge hassle

Is There a Support Group for Families Who Have a Member Addicted to World of Warcraft?

Question by Susanne W: Is there a support group for families who have a member addicted to World of Warcraft?
My daughter (20) has an addiction to the online game called, “World of Warcraft”. She rarely leaves her room, has no friends, no motivation to go to school or work, and is depressed. I realize that the game is not the core problem, but I am unable to think of a solution to get her to live any kind of life. Is there a support group anyone can recommend that I contact. I need to talk to others and see what they have done to help with this problem.

Hey could start by getting down on his knees and ask God to help him take one day at a time. Then he should get himself into daily AA meetings until he feels that he can scale back.
