Drug and Alcohol Addiction Help

I was rereading my previous post and realized that, with all my first-hand experience, I’m still inadequate to really help others overcome addiction. I don’t have enough technical knowledge in the way of rehabilitation to positively affect people. With that in mind, I went and scoured the web for really good addiction resources and have included links here in hopes that it will help anyone reading these posts.

And for any opiate dependent people I can strongly recommend looking into Suboxone. It has saved many of my friends lives who were addicted to OxyContin or any other opiate based drugs. It works by supressing the withdrawal feelings and making it impossible to get high from taking an opiate while your on it. And from the people I’ve spoken with it’s an absolute miracle. I even know people who can’t afford treatment that buy it off the street (an ode to our healthcare system…but that’s another rant).

I sincerely hope this helps anyone serious about overcoming addiction.
