Depends if you are buying them illegally or prescribed the medication and what the drug is. You have to tell your doctor and get some help. I’ve done the same thing and it’s a tough one and drugs do your brain in. You most likely have to taper off and again your doctor has to know. Withdrawal is dangerous depending on what drug you use.
Narcotics Anonymous is a great resource.
Hope you can get some help – you can’t do it alone.

What Is a Reasonable Compensation Claim for an Pain and Suffering Incurred From a Car Accident?

Question by circusboys: what is a reasonable compensation claim for an pain and suffering incurred from a car accident?
I was hit by a guy running a red light and wasn’t seriously injured but expect to be very sore for a couple of weeks. I am an actor and under contract to perform a live show, so taking time off is not an option- it would end my career in this town, so I have to work in pain. Also, I am unable to use painkillers or muscle relaxers due to a history with drug abuse, so the pain is full on. I don’t feel the need to contact an attorney, but feel I should be compensated somewhat for this guy’s negligence.

Can Anyone Tell Me How I Can Find Addiction Treatment Centers in Freeport, Maine?

Question by ariana 3xt: Can anyone tell me how I can find addiction treatment centers in Freeport, Maine?
My uncle, whom I had always been close to, has gotten himself involved in drugs. He used to be so placid and agreeable, but lately it’s been like I don’t even know him. I can’t talk to him the way I once did before. He just gets violent sometimes. Now he’s asking for my help in trying to find an addiction treatment center for him. I’m glad that he finally wants to get help. Unfortunately, I don’t know how I’m going to find treatment centers. Can anyone help me with this?
