What Should I Say at an Alcohol/drug Evaluation to Avoid Rehab?
Question by Anonymous: What should I say at an alcohol/drug evaluation to avoid rehab?
[rewrite]I recently got in some legal trouble, not involving any drugs or alcohol, and now have to be on probation for a bit. I went to probation yesterday for the first time and met with a woman who asked about family history, alcohol/drug history, and such. I didn’t lie on anything, and told her I drink once a week with friends on the weekend, and just quit smoking marijuana a month ago. She now wants me to get an alcohol/drug evaluation and says they might require a rehab program for me! I, in now way, shape, or form need a rehab program, and really wish I would have just lied about it! What should I say at the evaluation in order to keep myself from having to enter a program?

Friend in Danger of Drug Relapse. Any Suggestions?
Question by zoelynn: Friend in danger of drug relapse. Any suggestions?
[rewrite]A good friend of mine who has had a problem with heroine and other drugs in the past is in danger of relapse. I would really like to help him. I figured out he has been stealing pain pills from me (for a broken foot) and when I confronted him he asked me for help. He really has no money for a counsler and all I know to do is go to NA (Narcotics Annonomous) meetings with him for support. He says the meetings never really helped him before because people sit around and talk about doing dope. Is there any other alternative? In the DFW area of Texas?
