Substance Abuse
substance abuse Information
What is an outpatient substance abuse program?
Is it like a group meeting? Do you meet like every week with people your age who have to go to it too? Or is it like every day?
What do you do for fun when you're attempting to lay off of substance abuse?
I play in several bands, have a wonderful girlfriend, and have access to many video games, netflix, et al. The problem is that I've come to rely on substances to spice things up and not feel like my day to day life is so mundane like adding salt to food . I don't spend money on my damn near limitless supply of pot either, and my only reason to quit is the fucking court system not even a drug charge, i never even carried more than a gram, really . I hate the mall, my car is a good month of repairs away from functioning, and normal conversations about tv and gossip bore the hell out of me too catty . Listening to music is also hard because years of studying music theory has given me an uncanny tendency to disassemble songs track by track, note by note, and snob out like a mofo. I used to spend time thrillseeking, but that's how I got arrested with trumped up charges and now I'm bored. And being twenty means that I can't buy a few cases of beer and wait it out, either. So for an overanalytical weirdo with an affliction for excitement who is broke thank you usa court system, going to an abandoned amusement park is TOTALLY a felony worth fucking me over for , what do you suggest I pick up for hobbies or fun?I forgot to mention that I live in New Orleans and there's a lack of jobs that they'd give to a twenty year old white male, seeing as I seem to be stuck in the least credible demographic. I also can't move away due to court, and the groups and AA are not for me, in fact they forced me into a group after failing several drug tests, and it just reminds me of that moment in high school where I quit a test halfway after realizing that it was all bullshit based on someone else's idealizations. I also have a fear of falling into the proletariate machine and being a slave to our government which started in jail . I do like the outdoors, though if anyone knows of nearby work in those feilds please enlighten me, however I doubt that will be easy to find in my urban environment.With my broken down car, the shelter where two of my kittens were rescued from is a two hour walk away, not to mention I've heard horror stories from friends who worked at that very aspca shelter, and I don't think I could bring myself to clean dead 3 week old animals out of cages several times a week. That would make me feel worse and question my motives even further. Despite your condescending opening line, I do find that helpful and will inquire at several closer veterinary offices for work, but I doubt that will be successful because the job market here is terrible and none of my friends, even the ones who've never even SEEN drugs, can't find jobs right now that don't destroy their personal lives, and I can't afford that as a regularly gigging, multi instrumental musician.Also, if you plan on criticizing me, use proper grammar. Nobody wants to look like a hypocrite on the internet 3
Can I be a substance abuse counselor?
I am really interested in becoming a Substance Abuse Counselor but I have heard that without being a recovering addict yourself, patients tend to not respect your opinion. I've never touched a drug in my life, but I really think I could be good at this. Any opinions? I would like any feedback you can give me. Thank you

How can I submit a person on substance abuse disability to a mental hospital?
I have a relative who is on a mental disability and is receiving SS for his disability. He has been noted to be on substance abuse that has given him, from what I've been told, psychosis and or schizophrenia that can leave him in a very aggressive state of mind. The thing is his caretaker tudor was his grandmother but she passed away last month November . His mother who is trying to find him a mental institution wants to know what she can do in order to submit him and not have to be his tudor, because he is a thirty three year old man and given the circumstance that has happened to the grandmother she doesn't want the responsibility to take care of him. Is there something like a payee organization that she can turn to? Or what steps does she need to take in order to keep him somewhere safe and healthy. They are both in Puerto Rico right now, she would want the institution to be somewhere either in the Jacksonville or Fort Lauderdale area. Any help would be greatly appreciated
