Should Convicted Rapists Be Allowed to Live in a Halfway House for Recovering Addicts?
Question by ??????? Mrs. Moses ???????: Should convicted rapists be allowed to live in a halfway house for recovering addicts?
A close male member of my immediate family currently lives in a halfway house, after completing a 28-day drug addiction in-patient treatment program. He has lived in the house, which holds a maximum of 13 men, for 5 months now, and will have completed the 6 month program very soon. It is important to him for personal and legal reasons that he stay living in the house until he completes the program. He is serious about his recovery, and has been working hard to change his old behaviors, ways of thinking, and coping mechanisms. He does everything he is supposed to do, including regularly attending NA meetings, keeping with the house rules, and being open about his thoughts, feelings, fears, etc. All in all, he is really on the right path for lifelong recovery. Recently a man in his late 40’s moved into the house. We will call him “James.” Shortly after James moved into the house, another resident was checking the Maryland sex offender registry, out of curiosity, to see how many sex offenders were living close by. He then made the shocking discovery that James was registered. He wasn’t extremely troubled until he read the details. James is registered as a “Sexually Violent Offender” and his charge is listed as Rape: 2nd Degree. My relative and I looked up James on the Maryland Judiciary Case Search for more detail on his charges. This is what we found:
Where Can I Find Information on Pain Addiction to Write a Paper On?
Question by Hiro1221: Where can I find information on Pain Addiction to write a paper on?
I’m talking about real addiction to pain. Not pain pills or the pain(s) of being addicted to something. The actual addiction to causing yourself pain such as always getting into a horrible relationship or situations where pain will be the outcome. Haven’t been able to find much info except on personal made websites where someone writes their theory and thoughts on the subject. Need professional, documented work for a paper I’m writing for a school. Any websites, books, info, etc. will be much appreciated. Thank you everyone for your time. Take care and have a great and happy new year.
Thank you very much everyone. Really appreciate it.

Question by dania d: I need to know if there are any drug rehabs in Brownwood, Texas that will take people with dual diagnosis.?
My friend has a brother whom she thinks has dual diagnosis. She knows for a fact that he does heroin, but she’s not sure if he’s really depressive. Their parents are away, and she’s asking me to help her find a rehab for him because she thinks this would be the best thing to do for her brother. She’s bent on finding one that will take patients with dual diagnosis, as she says that they’re better equipped at handling patients with even just a slight psychological problem.

Answer by Mandy
On the pharmacy tech application, they ask if you habitually use alcohol, illegal or habit-forming drugs. Sounds like they ask if you currently use drugs. They ask you to complete an addendum with info about the situation. Do you think that you can handle working in this type of environment with your past history? I wouldn’t want to be tempted and just one slip up can be very bad.
