Do you know of any treatment centers like teen challenge?

My fiance is 41 years old. We live in northern texas. He is currently in jail facing a felony charge. I’ve been talking to his lawyer on finding a place for him to be court ordered to go to get help and hes asking me to give him some numbers and places. Hes addicted to drugs and alcohol. He also has liver problems that will someday take his life if he doesn’t stay sober. The only place that i know of that will help him the best is a non-profit organization called Teen Challenge. Its free and it really helps its students. Although im trying to find other places that are similar that may be a better suit for him. He also has to take medication everyday for his bipolar and schizophrenia, so im looking for a place that will allow that medical support also. Over all im looking for some place that is Free, medical facility,christian environment, and long term. Thank you so very much this would mean the world to me if i had some help.
NOT looking for a clinic.

Treating acne, adding tea tree oil to a 3-step treatment kit – good idea?

For almost two weeks, I have been using AcneFree 3-step treatment, because Googling shows that it’s better, and it’s more accessible, while ProActiv is only available through ordering and shipping. I can’t honestly say it’s too effective.

Just minutes ago, my mom came back with a tiny bottle of tea tree oil. It should be used on that “hole” after the spots get properly squeezed.

Is it a good idea to use the two treatments at the same time?

Just some details on what AcneFree contains.

AcneFree Renewing Toner (Step 2):
Removes dead skin cells and excess oils to keep pores clean.
SD Alcohol 40, ‘Witch Hazel’, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Polysorbate 20, PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), MSM, Lactic Acid, Chamonilla Recuita Extract, Sodium Borate, Methylisothiazolinone, Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), Copper PCA, Disodium EDTA, Menzethonium Chlorate

Step 3: BP Liquid
Penetrates pores to dry up blackhead blemishes and existing acne
3.7% Benzoyl Peroxide
I left step one out because I didn’t think it would be that important for details. It’s basically the apply and rinse cleaner.

Step 1
Purifying Cleanser
This oil-free formula gently exfoliates dead skin cells and impurities to cleanse away dirt and remove oil that can clog pores. Leaves the skin feeling fresh and clean.

Water, Sodium Coco-Sulfate, Sorbitol, Cocamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate, Oleamidopropyl Betaine, Lauramide DEA, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, NaCl (salt. just salt), Panthenol, Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA

How do I make a letter stating I completed drug treatment? What does it include? Read further info be 4 judgin?

Back in 1995 I used to sell weed in order to survive, I caught a case, which I fought for years before I decided to take the probation. My life has changed since then and I do not live that life anymore. In December I found out my daughter was molested by her father and tried drinking my problems away. My probation found out of my alcohol use and ordered me to get into treatment and complete it by a certain date. I was evaluated and treatment was not recommended, but I am ordered to do it anyways. My insurance will not pay for it without it recommending that I need it. I am on the Verge of homelessness if I do not find a job and a new apartment right away. Also i do not have my authorization for daycare to put my kids in, and time is something I just do not have right now in order to do what they say in there time frame. I can find a way to do so just not before June, but they want it NOW. I have to meet with probation next week and would like to have my letter stating I have completed treatment. What does a letter like this consist of. PLEASE NO SMART ALIC REMARKS OR SAYING ANYTHING IRRELEVANT TO MY QUESTION JUST TO OBTAIN SOME POINTS.

How do you feel about Cindy McCain getting special treatment about drug addiction ,and stealing drugs ?

She was addicted to pain killers ,and stole the drugs from her own organization.Then to top it off she didnt do any jail time .My guess (and its a very good one)thats because she is rich and she is married to a US senator.If it were you are I ,WOW we would still be in jail.

i am in a treatment center for a meth addiction and attending self help groups. will i still go to jail?

I was recently convicted of forgery in march and sentenced to 4 years probation and ordered to pay restitution ($600) I lied to the courts and said i didnt have a substance abuse problem. I am again being charged with the same crime(i wrote out checks on my ex boyfriends account while i was under the influance of meth). I knew i had a problem because i couldnt stop no matter how hard i tried. After i was arrested in July of this year i put myself on a waiting list at a local treatment center and graduated thier Intensive rehab treatment program after 8 weeks. I go to 5 self help groups a week and attend AA/NA meeting regularly and also meet with a counselor once a week. Recently i excepted a managing position at a cell phone company and am putting my life back together. i am residing in a half way house and have been clean for almost 6 months. The prosecuter in my case wants me to go to prison. my sentencing date is December 7th 06. does anyone know anyone that has been in my situation

A question about addiction treatment…?

I was just wondering whether there are statistics that show facts on whether persons who had spent their time in jail and gotten addiction treatment were really better off when they got out of jail than those who did not undergo addiction treatment.

Do Drug, alcohol treatment center falsely diagnose people as needing treatment solely for profit?

I had to attend a DWI screening at a drug and alcohol center for an evaluation ordered by the DMV of NY to get my license back, I told them the truth that I hadn’t had a drink in more than a year or done drugs in over 2 years they charged me $200 bucks then told me after 15 minutes of yes and no questions that I needed at 12 week program. That sounds sketchy to me!!! it seems like they just want your money

If a drug addict is imprisoned, would he be able to undergo addiction treatment while in jail?

This just crossed my mind as I was reading a pamphlet about how drug users are sometimes imprisoned because of a variety of reasons. If they get released without being treated, it is likely that they will just commit crimes or acts of violence again.

Any alcohol abuse treatment centers in Toledo, Oregon?

Are there any alcohol abuse treatment centers in Toledo, Oregon? We have this assignment about alcohol abuse and I really want to do well in it. Alcohol abuse is a very sensitive topic for me because I lost my brother Nate because of a car accident wherein the designated driver was an alcoholic. I want to find out as much as I can about alcohol abuse not just because I want to receive good grades but because I want to learn more about it in order to spread an awareness regarding the negative effects of alcohol. Thank you for your time.

Unfair treatment?!?

I am an 18 yr old just recently high school graduate and i have been on house arrest for 4 months and have not been convicted of a thing!. I was charged with traffiking hydrocodone after my friends mother (who is about 80 years old) dropped her prescription in my car. I have never violated the house arrest, i have been going to a rehab( court ordered), i have a job, and i live with my DAD. The state attorney has withheld the fullest punishment and i receive no breaks from them or the county courts. Is this wrong?

Can you have your husband court ordered to alcohol treatment?

My husband has been drinking to excess. He not only has started lying about when he actually works, but he also is way behind in paying his bills. I have asked him he wants help and he says no. Would a court-order help?

How to avoid forced drug treatment? I haven’t used drugs since march! It’s October now.?

I’m on probation. Judge ordered drug and alcohol evaluation, mental health evaluation, ETC. I haven’t used drugs in over 7 months, and the drug and alcohol dirtbags want me to come for treatment anyway. My crime wasn’t even drug related. I have phsycological problems as well. I’ve maintained being clean for so long, I’m not worried about their testing. I don’t like to remember the past, because a lot of stuff deeply depresses me, and some stuff will affect me for my entire life. I have difficulty talking to people due to traumas from childhood. THIS IS TORTURE. There must be some kind of law against this. I’ve heard from other people that they are there for the money. My medicaid expired, I was also on food stamps and cash assistance, and i’m not reapplying because I want to go back to work. I don’t want to live on the system forever. Now I have to give them money out of my pocket that I don’t have, and I don’t even have a problem. I’m trying so hard to overcome a lot of issues, and these people are making things 10 times harder. Are there any laws or ways out of this? Sources and links would be very helpful as well.
wayne county pennsylvania. Or should i say HELLVANIA.
I’m being forced to talk to their drug counselors. i’m already going to counseling with a counselor I feel comfortable with. I’m facing my problems, but not with these people. As long as I don’t use drugs, and my system is clean upon testing, that’s what counts. Many times I tell them, “I don’t remember.” Actually, as long as I don’t relapse, which I know I won’t, I don’t have to tell them anything, do I?
