How to Pay for Detox From Perscription Drugs?
Question by John W: How to pay for detox from perscription drugs?
[rewrite]My mom is addicted to Norco and Xanax. She desperately wants to get off, but all these detox programs in our area cost thousands of dollars we don’t have. She is currently living off of SSI and I am a full time college student. Is there some way we could do this cheaply or for free? Are there any charities out there that do this kind of thing for people? She’s been addicted for over five years and her health is starting to deteriorate as a result. She’s tried cold turkey, as well as every relevant phone number in the book (including local churches). It seems like we’ve exhausted every possible option we know of. Any suggestions?
I live in northern California, San Fransisco Bay Area

Would You Consider Heroin Addiction as One of the Pressing Problems of American Society?
Question by alisia t: Would you consider heroin addiction as one of the pressing problems of American society?
[rewrite]I was just wondering about this since I remembered an article that I read in a magazine about how a fairly large percentage of Americans are getting rehabilitated for heroin use every year. I always seem to hear about someone who has just gone out of rehab, or is going to be rehabilitated. I was planning on writing an article on this for our school paper, maybe it would help enlighten other students and stop them from using heroin. Your ideas and input will be very much appreciated.
