[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 719044, member: 1550"] Medicaid will not stop him from getting prescription benzos. They are pretty mainstream and if the doctor doesnt know about abuse, they are often prescribed. I take about 1 ml. Of Clonazapan a day. Medicaid paid for it until I recently was able to get regular insurance. Another thing is that benzos and opiates are big street drugs. He WILL use them until he doesnt want to. You do not have any control over that. I think you still think or hope or pray there is a way you can cut him off. I get the fear and desire. I shared it once. If he has no job he will steal or start to sell drugs for drug money (my daughter says if you use, you sell), or he will find Walmart receipts and return items he didnt buy. Destitute homeless people find ways to buy drugs. They will panhandle. They have no shame while using. It is 100% out of our hands. 100%. I was shocked at what my daughter did while using drugs, but she didnt share until she quit. Then it was too much information, but she was compelled to tell all...very hard to hear. I honestly dont mean to sound harsh, but taking his insurance away is not a solution. The solution lies with him. He is not going to quit drugs if you take his insurance away. I doubt he only gets drugs from doctors. I am sorry to have to have posted this. You sound desperate and I get it. We all want to think that we as parents can make an impact on our drug addicted dear children. But we cant. Only they can. Even rehabs can not make them quit. You see this. I hope you can calm down and find some peace today, letting go of this drama at least for a while. Go out with hub? He is not the bad guy here. He is hurting too. Comfort each other and stay well...please. [/QUOTE]
