Kareem H asked: I am a thirty year old recovering drug addict and alcoholic. In 2006 and 2005 i was arrested for shoplifting on three different occasions and was convicted for gross misdeamenor theft on all three charges. I stole to support an out of control heroin addiction. I graduated from the University of Mn twin cities campus with a degree in applied economics in 2001. After school my drinking and drugging spun out of control and by 2004 i was a full fledged heroin addict homeless living on the streets of minneapolis. After i was arrested the third time i was jailed and while awaiting trial i was furlowed to a drug and alcohol treatment center. After completing the treatment i went to live in a christian based sober house where I found god and jesus came into my heart. This experience has forever changed my life. I have been sober for over one year now. Before moving to the sober house i was an agnostic and i did not know god. I am curios if i could be a teacher in mn with my record?

James H asked: The drugs/alcohol are out of control. He drives/drunk or high and avoids getting caught. He dissappears for days. He never pays taxes. He uses the Emergency Room as a doctors office and never pays the bill. He refuses drug treatment voluntarily. I am at the end of my rope. I want to see him stopped, but not go to jail. I want to see him court ordered into an inpatient rehab center, where he can get some help. How can I alert the authorities, so they can find him drunk driving or in posession of drugs, and know that the judge will NOT put him in jail, but order mandatory rehab?? I’ll even pay for the rehab if it isn’t too expensive. But, I need the court order to make sure he stays for the entire period. If he doesn’t, then the judge can throw him in jail. Who do I contact at the state, county or township level to ASK for the Rehab sentence ahead of time??
My son is 25 y/o.

bob s asked: In WV I just totally finished the alcohol and drug safety treatment program as required by the WV DMV for a DUI in WV. I was wondering how long the DMV took to send me a letter or something, or should I call the DMV? I have paid all my fines and need to reinstate my license.

☼grundle goat☼ asked: scenario: In Tennessee you are on parole. you are a recovering addict – 6 years clean and sober. you apply to work at a drug and alcohol treatment center. you are honest about a felony drug conviction 6 years ago and state that is the reason you are on parole, but that you have completed drug treatment and have been clean 6 years. they Hire you. you go through orientation and have worked for two weeks. they tell you your background check has come back and they must let you go (fire your a**) is this not discrimination? the application asked if you had been convicted of a felony in the past 7 years and you told them about the drug charge. you also told them that there may or may not be other charges that would show up depending on how far back the check went. now all of a sudden they have a problem with you because of a theft charge from 9 years ago. even though you were completely honest! is there anything that can be done? does this scenario qualify as discrimination?

ann81969 asked: My daughter is 17 years old and, until Christmas break this year, was living with me and my husband at home. We’ve had problems with her “overstepping her boundaries” for several years, now, and were forced into sending her to live with her father 20 miles away once she started bringing drugs into our home.
It started with occasional pot and has now escalated to cocaine and alcohol use as well. We just found out about the cocaine last week and her father continues to let her go out with people we know are getting high with her.
I can’t get her father to do so much as ground her. I thought that sending her to live with dad would put some responsibility on him and straighten her out…at least by keeping her away from her drug connections. Now, I see how wrong I was.
Dad doesn’t want to take her to the hospital to have her evaluated for drug/alcohol treatment and evaluation for depression/bipolar/personality disorder. I believe this is what she needs. What do I do?

trinity asked: To put it out there, i went into a drug and alcohol treatment center, was denied my spiritual books which by the way happened to be wiccan, Then a tech there ( another word for glorified go-fer) confirmed i was there on the telephone,…and then to top it all off, the police came in and arrested me at the treatment center!!!
Any thoughts?
it is not ok to be denied my religous rights when they are allowing and encouraging the holy bible.

ashely lc asked: I want to do this because I have lost people to drugs and alcohol. For a time, I was consumed by my hatred for those substances. Then I realized that I shouldn’t be angry. I should be doing something to curb the spreading of drug and alcohol addiction. This is why I want to find addiction treatment centers. I’d like to become an addiction counselor to help other people.

smart-doctor-egypt asked: In Pakistan the first known case of heroin addiction was recorded in 1980. In 1981, there were only 25 cases recorded. By 1986 there were half a million cases. Now it is estimated that there are between 1-1.5 million cases in a population of 95 million.
The rate of growth of narcotic addiction in Pakistan is higher than that of USA. In addition to heroin addicts, there are about 1 million opium and hashish users, and 300,000 tranquillizer abusers. The actual number of alcoholics is difficult to determine, since they usually don’t seek treatment. There are only 26 rehabilitation centers and 10,000 trained social workers.
By comparison, in the USA with a population of 220 million, there are 15 milllion alcoholics, 2 million heroin addicts, 5.5 million cocaine users, 6 million tranquilizer abusers and 18 million regularly use marijuana. There are 700 treatment centers. There are 10,000 kids (children born to cocaine mothers).
