Group Therapy/support Groups in Hagerstown, MD?

Question by Rebecca P: Group therapy/support groups in Hagerstown, MD?
I live in Hagerstown, Maryland, and am looking for any support group or group therapy available in Hagerstown or nearby… not Frederick because I don’t drive, though. I am looking for a group in any or all of the following areas:

-Depression
-Anorexia/Bulimia
-Self-harm
-Trauma/PTSD/Abuse Survivor
-General mental illness

I’m not interested in AA, NA, OA, or NAMI because I’ve been to NAMI and OA and didn’t like them particularly. I don’t abuse alcohol or drugs so they aren’t suitable… any ideas? Places? Resources? I looked in the yellow pages and with various mental health agencies and am not having much luck. It’s so frustrating since Hagerstown is quite small… help, please?

Why Doesn’t Nicotine (Which Is a Drug) Treated the Same as Other Drug Addictions. Like Treatment Centers Paid

Question by breeze1: Why doesn’t nicotine (which is a drug) treated the same as other drug addictions. Like treatment centers paid
for by insurance and medicare. People who are drug tested positive for illegal drugs are often offered treatment as an option to losing their jobs. in fact drug addiction is listed as a disease, it’s not just a bad habit, . Since nicotine is an addictive drug, users are drug addicts and therefor sick people, so why do we punish them and not offer medical help.I guess it’s because insurance and government do what they want and ignore their irrationality.
i’m not suggestion putting smokers in prison, I’m saying you can be an alcholic or drug addict and go to a treatment center for inpatient treatment usually 28 days and its covered by insurance, but with nicotine which is as hard to stop as herion, you are supposed to stop on your on with no help but a patch. That is discriminatory. It is either a disease or it’s not.
The government wants me to stop smoking so they are taxing cigarettes more and more and forcing my employer to make the work place tobacco free so, yea, they should pay for treatment.

40 Year Old Prostitute in Las Vegas Addicted to Meth and Other Drugs?

Question by 18/f/usa: 40 year old Prostitute In Las Vegas Addicted to Meth and other drugs?
I want to help my best friend with this burden. He is 21 years old and living on his own with his father’s moral support, so he is not completely alone family-wise, but he is extremely close with his mother because his dad wasn’t in the picture until 14 years old. He loves his mother more than anything in the world and it deeply pains him to know where she is in life because, daily, he expects the call from his grandma that she’s dead. He has no hope she will change because it seems where ever she goes she gets into the same lifestyle. She is honestly a good person, sweet as can be. Are there any options for this woman because she can not keep hooking for a living very soon or survive as a meth addict much longer. I want to commit her to a rehab center, but I don’t know if that’s the best thing or if she will even go! She needs therapy, and that’s for sure. Her early life was tragic.
