Can Somebody Explain Why Mexico Would Even Have Drug Rehab Centers Since Mexico Says Its Only a US Problem?

Question by I’m gonna start another riot: Can somebody explain why Mexico would even have drug rehab centers since Mexico says its only a US problem?
Even for regular families with addicts, drug centers can be ugly places. Parents commit unruly adolescents or even their adult children against their will for months at a time. Beatings are often part of therapy, hygiene can be poor and lax enforcement of regulations prevails.

No one knows how many drug rehabilitation clinics and treatment centers there are. The Mexican government is expanding a series of Nueva Vida rehab centers for teenagers, erected since 2007 with $ 205 million confiscated from a Shanghai -born drug trafficker.

Question About First Violation of Probation in Tennessee!?

Question by : Question about first violation of probation in Tennessee!?
Ok my brother lives in Tennessee. He’s on probation for a dui he got a few years ago. He saw his probation officer and paid the fines every month. His place of work moved to Kentucky so he had to go as well. My mom still drove up there every month to bring him back to take him to his probation officer. After a few months they laied him off. He didn’t have money to pay his proby officer and my mom couldn’t afford to go get him every month to take him. He stayed in Kentucky for 2 years and he finally decided to come back and turn himself in. He did so and bailed out and got a new job and turned his life around. He’s now doing great clean from drugs and alcohol and working hard. He’s even going to a treatment center every week for drugs and alcohol. When he went to court the judge gave him 30 days in jail for his first violation of probation. So he told the judge he wants a public defender. The public defender said he wont have to go to jail for that long because its his first violation of probation, he turned himself in, and he’s in treatment for drugs and alcohol. So my question is does anyone have any idea of how much time he’s looking at? Maybe someone has been in the same situation or a similar one and has an idea of what he may receive wether jail time or fines and or community service? Thanks in advance.

Stepson Released From Drug/alcohol Rehab-Staying With Us-He Needs to Go-Where Can He Go?

Question by swty2crazy2001: Stepson released from drug/alcohol rehab-staying with us-he needs to go-where can he go?
My 24 yr. old stepson was released from rehab about a week ago. He said he needed a place to stay until he could get into a half-way house. He hasn’t had a job for years and has always moved from one place to another, with whoever would take him in and let him mooch. When they get tired of his mooching he moves on to the next person who feels sorry for him and takes him in…and the cycle has continued. His friends bought his alcohol, provided his drugs and bought his cigarettes. He stole money from friends, belongings to sell for money and borrowed money from family members, saying he needed medication only to use the money for his partying. Anyways, he says he needed a place to stay for a week after getting out of rehab and his father told him he could stay with us. The problem is, he cannot get into a half-way house without insurance or money to pay for his stay. He is here with us and I am afraid he is in no hurry what so ever to go anywhere. He is here all day doing nothing productive to search for help or assistance to get out on his own and get the help he needs.He sits in the house all day and is either on the internet or playing video games. He eats all day and I am sick of him already. I have three other school-aged children of my own from a previous marriage who live with us. He sets a terrible example of what a 24 year old should be doing with their life. He has lived with us before and we kicked him out and made him move with his mother because of his excessive drinking and pissing the bed, and the stories go on and on. I was just fed up! So here we are again! What can I do??? Nobody else in his family will let him stay with them. He really has no where else to go. I just cannot have him sleeping on our couch forever and he lacks motivation!!! I had him fill out an application for county assistance to see if he would be eligible for medical assistance to help pay for his stay in a half-way house to get treatment and training on job search skills and to be sure he attends AA classes and so on to start a life for himself. What else can I do to get him out of my home. He drives me crazy just sitting home all day. I do not trust him and am afraid to leave him alone. I am afraid he’s mooching money off my teenage daughter and her boyfriend (though they say he’s not). He’s getting cigarettes somehow. I know it’s only a little over a week but I just can’t handle him being here mooching just like he did before going to rehab. Any advice???????

There are lots of ways to find drug rehabs in your area. One good way to get recommendations and suggestions is to go to the doctor. It would be better if you bring your cousin along so the doctor can take a look at him as well and tell you what kind of treatment program he needs. You can also check out the links that I have included below. These might be able to help you in your search. I hope your cousin gets treated soon. Good luck!
