Addictions Therapist

I am doing a business deal with a professional person who I believe (just now realized) could be an addict. Dont know this person well enough to know how long this may have been going on. They seem to function fairly well and act normally accept for a few subtle signs I took notice of. What should I watch out for to protect myself?

Could a gambling addict be cured without going to therapy?

In my previous question I stated that I have addictive personality and now I am currently trying to break my diet soda addiction. I relize that the majority of the reason that I drink soda, other than I like soda, is that I want the caffeine. I enjoy my caffeine addiction and have no current plans of breaking it.(I drink about 120 mg a day, heard ingesting under 300 mg a day could prevent cancer True?)

Any ways, My question is does anyone know of any drinks that are semihealthy but contain caffeine? I have been thinking about switching to black ice tea which I heard has caffeine in it.For me its easier to break an addiction if I can sub it for a different one.

Wouldn’t people get addicted to methadone too? I know people started out believing that heroin is some kind of treatment for morphine addiction. What if methadone is the same way? I’m just really curious.

Twelve-step programs have been proven to be the most (and some might say the only) effective method for addiction recovery. This is evidenced by their global popularity and universal influence on treatment modalities. However, in addition to the long, difficult process of comprehending and completing the twelve steps, there are the addict’s ego defenses, their suspicious and defiant attitude, puzzling program clichés, confusing jargon, various “twelve-step” myths, inaccurate information, and (very often) preexisting therapeutic issues. Interventions that support abstinence or the normalizing of addictive behavior, such as in work or sex addictions, often fail because of this profoundly complex constellation of symptoms and issues. What adds to the addict’s struggle is the often-heard, fear-based, inaccurate, blaming statement: “Well, addicts who re-lapse don’t really want recovery. They don’t try hard enough.” With the drastic increase in the number of… More >>

Addictions & Spiritual Transformation: Making Twelve-Step Recovery More Effective

Why do people who are undergoing rehabilitation have to use the likes of methadone? I’ve always thought that it was just abstaining from the illegal drug, as well as counseling and therapy, that is needed for addiction treatment.

Ever since my dad left us, my mom has been in a slump. She doesn’t go to the office anymore. She has just been drinking alcohol. Last night, she had a fight with my sister and I think this really served as an eye-opener for my mom. She now wants to get treated and I really want to put her in the treatment center that’s best for her.

How do you like your work? Do you have a degree,doctrate,or masters?

he doesn’t just smoke, he’s totally addicted… he’s lost jobs over it, can’t go a single day without it, and he’s about to lose his girlfriend (he says he loves her but she can’t take the addiction anymore)
he has similar problems with respecting authority (like police), stopping alcohol consumption at a reasonable level when he goes to the city/parties, etc.

his little brother just got expelled because of weed he gave him
and now my friend’s daughter is growing up, so soon she’ll recognize what he’s doing – or worse, eventually start smoking with/because of him, and/or get expelled herself. she’s almost 5 now, but he’s made no efforts to quit, and it’s been 10 years of smoking for him.

at this point, he’s burned so many bridges that a group intervention is not an option, and i dont have the money or legal backing to put him in rehab – he wont go. he admits he has a problem, but he doesn’t seem to consider it much of an issue, and says i’m persecuting him whenever i tell him i dont like him smoking.

what can i do???

I need to find a physical therapist for my back problems.

Is there a web site or something with reviews?
