Can substance abuse treatment facilities release information to authorities?

17 Jul

I have a friend wants to get help with a substance abuse problem that she has. She has 4 kids, 3 of which she has lost custody. She wants to attend meetings to get help. However, she is unsure if she should reveal that she has kids, for fear of someone telling social services and thus taking her other kid away. What kind of privacy act is in place for organizations such as NA and AA?

Is physical abuse as a child linked to sexual addiction as an adult?

23 Jun

I have been seeing a therapist who specializes in compulsive sexual behaviors. I also attend 12 Step meetings for my sexually compulsive behaviors. My therapist is in agreement that I have a sexual behavior problem, and the therapist uses the term “sexual addiction” in describing my behavior problem. I won’t get into the details. My therapist asks a lot of questions about my childhood, and lately has focused on my father’s disciplinary actions, which can be viewed as physical abuse. Again, I will spare you the details. My therapist seems to imply that my “sexual addiction” is linked to physical abuse as a child. My question is how are the two linked? I am not into BDSM. I have my own theories, and I am interested in hearing your theories, particularly if you were physically abused as a child. I want to stress that I was NOT sexually abused. Thanks. Peace.

I live in a suburb of Chicago, we are having some severe issues with our young teens here. It’s something called a “code of silence”, this is when you witness either a local gang member(s) kill or severely beat someone, and you say nothing at all. This is a HUGE PROBLEM! I want to open a substance abuse center for kids, these kids need help! HELP ME HELP THEM PLEASE!
