Drug Abuse

Question by queenrobinanne: does anyone know of a website that i can chat with a professional about drug abuse?
im trying to find some help for my husband. i need some info about how i can get him some help.
he needs help but wont acknowledge it. he takes so many pills im afraid of what is going to happen to him. everytime i bring it up to him he gets furious.
he actually is aware of his problem. he knows he is an addict. but that dont stop him from doing whatever he can to get more pills. he has suffered 2 seizures in the last 4 years from xanax withdrawals. he also abuses hydrocodone. we have no medical insurance and im trying to find out how to get him some treatment

look up narcotics anonymous or al- anon meetings in your area, go there and speak with someone, they WILL help you. There should be some information in the front of your phone book. Call a crisis line, they will point you in the right direction.

If you google “drug abuse”, you should be able to find much information about the subject. You would do better to try and find a counselor in your own area, as it has been my experience that for any professional counseling on line, you could be charged for the service. If you contact the Health and Human Services Department where you live, you may be able to get drug counseling for a minimal fee or nothing at all. However, there is not much you can do with an addictive husband who doesn’t seem to be aware of his problem, or doesn’t want to face it. But counseling may help you to better cope with the situation. Good luck!
