Can A Jail Legally Withhold You From Taking A Prescription Drug?
Filed in The Category Drug Withdarawl Symptoms
I am on Methadone and they wouldn’t give it to me in jail. It causes Extreme withdrawl and I think that’s cruel and unusal punishment. I go to a clinic every day a mile from the jail and someone could bring it. Is there a law somewhere about withholding meds. like this? Like I said, the withdrawl is unbearable and worse than Heroin.

Opiate Withdrawl And Childbirth…can Addiction Pass Onto Child Without Drug In System At Time Of Fornication?
Filed in The Category Drug Withdarawl Symptoms
Okay read this carefully and think of the situation… If a man is a few weeks into opiate with drawl, to the point where the drug is out of his system, yet his brain is STILL not producing enough of it’s own endorphins, aka his brain hasn’t fully repaired it’s opiate receptors yet, and he got a woman pregnant who is completely clean of drugs, her brain functions normally as far as chemical balances and her opiate receptors and endorphins are at norm… would the baby take on the need for opiates? or be vulnerable to get addicted to them because of the lack of chemicals the fathers brain was producing?
The only reason I ask is because the man is FREE of drugs, none in his system… yet his brain lacked the ability to produce certain endorphins because of using… so would the child’s brain have the same problem? or does that only pass on if the person is currently using opiates, and assisting their brain so much with false endorphins and opiates that the child’s brain would crave for them as well?
Please someone educated, please give me a good response to this IF you really know what you’re talking about or have heard of something similar, because I know that addiction can pass onto kids (I’m one of them) from the person using during pregnancy (my mother). Yet this situation is kind of tricky, and I don’t want this to pass onto my child if she is carrying him/her… Thank You!

Can Someone Who Works Or Worked At A Hospital Help Answer A Question About Drug Detoxing?
Filed in The Category Drug Withdarawl Symptoms
My boyfriend is a heroin addict. He finally is ready to get help. He had a scare when he had to go to the ER last week and they told him that his kidneys are starting to fail and if he doesn’t quit, he’ll die. I helped get him into a drug detox and rehab center for those without insurance and no money but they won’t have a bed open for another 5 days. At the detox, they will give him some meds. so the detoxing won’t be so awful. The problem is that he has to wait 5 days and we (his family and I) don’t want him using in the meantime but he is so “dope sick” that he needs something to help with the withdrawl. I called our local hospital and they have a floor that they use for detoxing (a mental health floor) and they have to admit him. My question is if they would give him ANYTHING to help with the suffering this withdrawl causes? And even if he does detox there, don’t you think he should still go to the rehab especially since it’s free? Thanks for any advice.

What Is This Medicine Used For Heroin Detox?
Filed in The Category Symptoms of Heroin Use
I was telling a friend about some medicine that is given to people who are trying to quit a heroin addiction. My friend is a recovering addict. The medicine I am thinking of is not methadone. I know that much.
I know it is a large orange colored pill and from what I hear, it almost taste like candy. I hear it has a nice taste to it which really isn’t what you’d expect when you think of a pill.
I am pretty sure this pill is also addictive and most likely abused.
