i need this info for a paper i’m writing. i’m only wondering about the risk of addiction/dependence of prescription drugs (opiates, amphetamines, barbiturates, etc.) when used as prescribed by a doctor. when i googled it, everything i got dealt with prescription drug ABUSE, which is NOT what i’m looking for.

My Brother Keeps Stealing My Cigarettes and Stealing Money to Buy Cigarettes, How Can I Get Him Back?

Question by Must Simmons: My brother keeps stealing my cigarettes and stealing money to buy cigarettes, how can I get him back?
He got addicted to cigarettes recently and keeps stealing my cigarettes, as well as money for him to support the habit. A pack of Marlboros or Newports costs about 11 dollars here in NYC. Would it be acceptable to punch him in the face even though he’s only 14?
I know cigarettes are bad but this is not the point. I don’t actually smoke them, I just sell them and hold them for friends. I only smoke marijuana and drink alcohol.

Residential Psychiatric Treatment for Young Adults in New England?

Question by CQ: Residential psychiatric treatment for young adults in New England?
Treatment needed for an 18 year old suicidal girl with PTSD, anorexia/bulimia, drug and alcohol abuse, self-harm, depression, severe anxiety, and possibly borderline personality disorder.
Any suggestions of centers or hospitals in the Northeast, preferably in Massachusetts but not necessarily?
Thank you SO MUCH.
Yes, this is one girl, and she HAS been diagnosed with all of these things. The “possible BPD” is because one doctor thinks she has it and one thinks she doesn’t.
