How Do Commit Someone for Alcohol and Drug Treatment?
Question by chocolate: How do commit someone for alcohol and drug treatment?
My mother is an alcoholic and drug user. She needs to be committed to a treatment center but she will not go. Last week she slit her wrists and went to the emergency room (50 stitches) but they let her go. I did not know until afterward that she had done this. How can I have her committed if she won’t go on her own? If she attemps suicide again, can I have her committed? Thanks.

How Likely Is a Doctor (General Practitioner) to Write a Prescription Upon Request for Anxiety?
Question by Matthew C: How likely is a doctor (General Practitioner) to write a prescription upon request for anxiety?
I know that anxiety drugs are commonly abused, and my symptoms are mild. But I’d still like a benzodiazepine for when I need it. Would I be better off going to a psychiatrist even if I don’t feel like I need therapy? Will the doctor think I’m just out to get drugs?

If you are already seeing the doctor and he knows you then talk to him about it. See if you are bad enough for drugs or not. Only a doctor can decide that.

Answer by ThirtyEightSnub
Education Requirements for a job as a substance abuse counselor depend on the hiring agency. Some counselors have a high school diploma and
certification while others have a bachelor’s degree or
master’s degree. Since some of the best substance
abuse counselors are those who have overcome addiction themselves, this is one of the few jobs
where a degree from the school of hard knocks can
outweigh university schooling. Counselors with more
education will be trusted with less immediate
supervision and licensed counselors can provide
one-on-one counseling.
