Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 My mother has been addicted to pharmaceuticals for decades first tranquilizers like Valium and Darvocet and now Xanax and painkillers. She is neurotic and unwilling to make much of an effort to improve herself in any way. She is seventy. She has always been destructive to everyone around her not only herself with her addictions including cigarettes but lashing out at people and draining the family's finances. I would like to first reduce her destructive behavior towards those around her and later help her improve herself. We don't have the means to pay for an expensive drug treatment program, and I don't believe there is much government assistance to treat drug abuse. What social services are available for drug treatment? What is the best method to get someone off of drugs without costing a fortune? Thanks for any replies.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 First, your mom has to WANT to be treated. If she isnt part of the program it WILL NOT WORK! you cannot force someone to give up an addiction. Usually the addiction gets much worse when this is attempted...Second, If your mom is willing to try to give up her addiction, she will need counseling (which is offered for low income families in your community), and then she will need to go through detox under a doctors care. Someone who has been on such meds for so long can go through severe withdrawal symptoms. In a message dated 4/29/2010 9:27:43 A.M.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 What is the best method to get someone off of drugs without costing a fortune? Thanks for any replies. Would recommend reading books written by Dr. Peter Breggin. perhaps your library could obtain a copy. Or google his name to determine if any of his writings are on the internet. best of luck. the benzodiazapines are reputed to be the most difficult from which to withdraw. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 are you uk or us? I'm guessing us because if your uk I could point you towards services. And yes you can't get people off valium particularly on your own as the withdrawals for someone your mother's age can be fatal if shes been taking the pain killers for a long time {people often hallucinate and suffers fits during withdrawals , this gets worse the longer the addiction} I don't want to scare you but I felt you needed to know how potentially serious it can be.{I work in psychiatric care so I've seen lots of withdrawals in my time} I would also suggest that you may need a doctors help anyway because of the description of your mother's behaviour sounds like there may be some underlying issue {were there any traumatic events that triggered her pain killer use?} The problem when someone is in the grip of an addiction is that yes they don't want to help themselves because they don't see it as a problem, they are not viewing their behaviour objectively and there's really no point getting angry with her {yeah I know, thats very easy for me to say!} Think of how your mother is interpreting it.. I suspect it's probably giving her an excuse to say to herself 'I've got all these things wrong with me /all these problems and they just don't understand/care' {I know it's not the truth but when people are addicts their thinking is very skewed towards the addiction} She won't change until she feels she needs to and sometimes the only way to do that is to sit someone down and say to them ' I love you but I don't love the way you're behaving or what you're doing to yourself and us so I can't be around you until you change' I know how hard this is but you need to look after yourself as well {I'd also look at whether there are ways you can restrict her access to shared family finances} Best of luck and lots of love. If you want to discuss anything in confidence feel free to shout!

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 To get off drugs, take as much magnesium as possible. This is easy if you take magnesium oil topically. Also recommended are Lugol's iodine, baking soda, and niacin in the form of nicotinic acid (the flushing kind). To get off nicotine, lobelia root or magnolia leaves are recommended.
