Why Do Drug Addiction Treatments Cost Much?
Question by aracely s: Why do drug addiction treatments cost much?
I was just wondering about this since thousands of dollars seem like so much money.
Best answer:
Answer by arlyn w
Drug addiction treatments cost much because a lot of factors are involved when treating a patient. Medication and payment for counseling and therapy costs much. But studies have shown that a full year of methadone maintenance treatment would cost a lot less than a year of imprisonment. Besides, this is someone’s life that’s on the line. What’s a thousand dollars compared to leading a sober, happy, addiction-free life?
WOW Addiction?
Question by idog: WOW addiction?
When I posted my last question about if I was adicted to WOW or not I was not specific enough about the time i played. when I said i played 4-6 hours during the week days I ment over the whole 5 days and 9-12 hours on the weekend over the whole 2 days. I also miscalculated the number of days I play. I examined my habits and I only play WOW 2-3 days of the regular weekdays and typicaly I only play it on sunday on the weekend. on any gived day i play no more than three hours, typicaly less than one. I also downloaded Titan bar which said that in over the 4 months I played it I only played for 3.5 days total (84 hours total). whith this new information do you think I have an adiction.
Also I would like to make a statement about that kid in China who died because his parents would not stop playing WOW. It was one incident, I bet you hundreds of kids have died in America because their parents wouldn’t stop watching TV. The average American watches 4 hours of TV a day more than i play WOW.
Yahoo cut me off before I could finish my statement. I was going to say that realy any recreational activity it going to generate addicts. WOW is just the newest one. Americans by they time they would have died would have waisted 11 years of their life watching TV if they watch the average 4 hours a day and I’m sure that people Inatant Message just as much. Just yesterday my sister IMed for 4 straight hours. If you want to stop adictions why don’t you ban all recreational activities. Face it what we do everyday has the potential to be adictive.

No Help to Quit Drug Addiction?
Question by Mary: No help to quit drug addiction?
I’ve noticed something quite serious. There is absolutely NO help for anyone who needs discreet help in quitting a serious drug addiction. Google it. You’ll see. You have to sort through the countless websites telling you how disgusting and pathetic you are, how you must involve everyone in your family to overcome your mistakes and live a drug free life. And if you don’t have money, well, you’re really up the creek. It’s not so bad for smokers, that’s “not your fault”, not so bad for Alchoholics, it’s a “disease”, again, not really your fault. But drugs? You are the scum of the earth and you must allow society to pound you into the ground before you even attempt to get help. It IS your fault, it’s a choice. Yes, it WAS a choice, and yes, you KNOW you made a huge mistake. You see all of these centers advertised showing a resort-like setting and how “you too, can live a drug free life”. If you use your insurance, it becomes public knowledge that you’re one of these “scum”, and if you try to enter one of these “free” in-patient detox centers, you have to be arrested first or be on a waiting list so long the drugs will probably kill you in the meantime. How much money is spent every year on helping the FAMILIES of those with addiction? The advice to the “loved ones” is quite extensive. What about the addict? Not the criminal, never been arrested, just someone who really needs help, but for their own reason, without the ability to share with the world their serious life-threatening problem? You are in it completely alone. Your family is so against drugs that you will NEVER to one of the family again if they find out. No, I’m not being dramatic, there are people out there like that.
Try this…pretend you are a Grandmother, a good person, successful and working your entire life until disability happened. You got into a serious drug to help your disability and cannot quit. You are dying. Your hair is falling out, you’ve got numerous medical problems now. You’ve never been arrested, you’ve never stolen anything or comitted a crime to support your habit. You’ve moved away from your family to keep them from seeing you like this. It’s ruining your relationships because your not there and family thinks that you do not seem to care….although you do, with all of your heart. The drug is stronger than your heart. You know you are disgusting.
In a perfect world, someone would come up with a “reason” you could tell your family why you won’t be able to answer your phone for 4 to 6 weeks, you would go to a resort setting where the doctors and nurses first get you healthy, then teach you coping techniques to keep you drug free. And it’s all paid for by private donations from those who understand the seriousness of the drug problem facing us today. Oh….and it’s 100% discreet. When you return from your secret “trip” you are drug free, alive and happy again. The fantasy 6 week vacation you went on made your family smile and say, WOW! Where in the heck did you go? You look fantastic!
Yeah, right.
I know I’ll regret what’s coming….but what are your thoughts?
Drug Addiction?
Question by mia333: Drug addiction?
Please help!!! My best friend came to me with a problem that i had no idea was going on. She has been addicted to a pill called ultram for 3 years. She said the moment she wakes up she takes it and takes about 7 a day. I thought she’d be dead by now! She knows she has a problem and wants to get help, but the problem is that she has a 1 year old son and is in college. She said she couldnt afford going to treatment. She couldnt bear with the fact of someone else having to take care of her son knowing that she was in a rehab. So what i wanted to ask if there is a possibility to recover without going away to rehab or something. Are there any recoverers out there that can help me help my friend. Also her doctors prescribes her this medicine and it’s not even a narcotic (or so she said) so im also wondering if you had to rate would you think this drug to be a little better than vicoden or anything like that?
