[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 681241, member: 1963"] First of all, cocaine isn't all that physically addictive. The mental addiction and cravings are the big issue with cocaine. The concerns I have are that he probably wants you to go so that he can go cold turkey the week you are gone. If he has been drinking heavily, he MUST detox with medical supervision as an inpatient. Alcohol and benzos are the two withdrawals that can kill by lethal seizures. Both also cause psychosis and other awful mental states during WD. He can do the cocaine withdrawal. That one is a matter of dealing with the depression and anxiety and having the willpower to get through that stage. The alcohol, and if he is addicted to that and/or benzos and plans on going Cold Turkey, could be deadly. Please talk to your son, explain the above and why you are worried,and see if you can get him to tell you the extent of his addictions and to what. [/QUOTE]
