Question by : Can the uninsured and unemployed go to alcohol rehab too?
Ok, I am 20 years old now and I am no longer in denial of being an alcoholic. I realize it now. My life is so messed up and I want to change before things get even worse. The only problem is that now I am jobless again due to my alcoholism and I am close to broke. Do rehabs accept people with no insurance or a job even? Thank you…..

Dear One, Congratulations on your epiphany!!! You will have a great life being sober. I know of only one place to go and that is Salvation Army. They help you in every way possible. Be open, willing and honest, and all will be given to you. I am so proud of you! Take good care.
Answer by Nigam
You know my name, I am an alcoholic. I have been sober for over 9 years. When I was in Chicago, what happened to you, happened to me. I went to the South Suburban Center for Alcoholism and Substance Abuse. They did not require money or for me to be employed.Their only requirement, in a manner of speaking, was that I had admitted to myself that I was an alcoholic, that my goal was to become sober,and then remain sober. It was a very good rehabilitation center. Now, the U.S. is a huge country. I don’t know where you live. I am sure you can find a rehabilitation center which understands your difficulties. The way to go about finding this out is:
1. Contact Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) on their toll free number.
2. If you are willing to, go to AA meetings.
3. Please do not think that I am even remotely suggesting that you are “crazy”, but the local or community mental health centers can be sometimes a big help.
4. If you cannot travel anywhere for lack of funds, do ask yourself this question: “Can I become sober without going to a rehabilitation center?” My answer would be:”Yes, you most certainly can.” It is good to be with people who have the same problem as we do, but is not a requirement. That is of course my opinion.
5. Last suggestion, go to the website: www.about.com, choose Alcoholism, go to chat rooms. They are decent people. You will not feel uncomfortable chatting with them, asking questions and so on.
You already taken the first step according to AA, which is admitting. You have courage. You WILL make it. Take it one day at a time. If you are a believer, God bless you, if not ignore me.
The reason I am doing this is because in atleast some ways I owe my sobriety to some exceptional people from AA. I always remember that, as a result I would like to help anyone who asks for help, even though I am some 10,000 miles away from you, in India.

Question by guyster: Why is Adderall considered addictive?
Adderall is a “class II” drug in the US, considered to have “high potential for abuse.” I took it for a while and it wasn’t addictive for me, and my doctor said none of his patients became addicted. I’ve never heard of *anyone* being addicted to it, yet it’s in the same class as Oxycontin, which I’ve heard of a *number* of people being addicted to. Does anyone understand this, or have they become addicted to Adderall?
Personally, I didn’t care for the side-effects; I’m not pro-Adderall, just curious.
To anyone who says it is addictive; back the claim up with proof. Name a single person who became addicted.
When I read about the “True Life” episode mentioned below, it uses words like “habit” and “abuse”, but not “addiction”.
KTK: Actually, I don’t have classic ADHD, and I found it too overstimulating, as you point out, so I don’t think that’s the reason.
Best answer:
Answer by Jeffrey Foster
Yes it is very addictive. Although It isn’t like Oxycontin at all.
Answer by KTK
Maybe you didn’t become addicted because you have ADHD so Adderall calms you down and lets you concentrate. For people who don’t have ADHD, adderall is basically speed. It’s made of amphetamine salts, and is supposedly just as addictive as crystal meth. I don’t know anyone personally who is addicted to it, but I know lots of people who use it recreationally as speed so maybe some of them are addicted and I just don’t know it. There was an episode on MTV of “True Life” where ther was a girl who was in rehab because she was an adderall addict.

Answer by a_mom
Isn’t your child assigned a social service worker? My sister has Down’s Syndrome and shortly after she turned 19 or 20 the state began checking up on her every year. The worker will ask both my parents and my sister what they want. They always ask if she would like to move out. They will help find a suitable home for the young adult. I would ask other parents what the group homes are like. I have worked at some that are great and some that are horrible places. It all depends on the workers. Good luck I know this is a difficult decision.
