[QUOTE="DDD, post: 480865, member: 35"] Do you have any MD's in the area who specialize in substance abuse? It "may" be possible to find an expert who can help with a withdrawal plan. Depending on the drugs involved there is a possibility that he can do it outpatient with-o any danger to his system....difficult child#1 has a friend who is in his second week of self withdrawal and is restless & irritable but not in pain. I think alot depends on which drugs you are dependent upon and the quantity your body is accustomed to having. Of course after the physical withdrawal there are years of psychological withdrawal, change of friends etc. that make it a lifelong problem. My Dad joined AA when he was around forty but even twenty years later he would get stressed and seek out a meeting. The insurance companies are rarely ready to step up to the plate for inpatient and once a patient is received at a facility seek to establish that they should be discharged since they are "no longer using". Makes no sense. It's terribly sad and I feel your pain. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
