Nar A Non, look in the phone book for Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous. I know for members of AA they have Al-A-Non for family members. It is free all you have to do is go to meetings. They have schedules of meetings in your area. You can also call the local mental health hotline and ask them or the hospital in your area.

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.
