First the person needs to admit that they are and addict and they have an addiction to any time of drug or alcohol syndrome. \n\nSecond, They have to want to seek help to get clean.\n\nThird you cannot make them want to get clean how much you cry, scream, and tamtrum.  It doesn't work.\n\nAlcohol and Drug Problems \n\nTopic Overview \n\n\nThe overuse or abuse of alcohol (alcoholism) or other drugs is called substance abuse. It is common and costly. It can cause or worsen many medical problems and destroy families and lives\n\nMost people do drink or take drugs to cover up for emotinal problems as well as some other unhealthly habits \n\nBut it can be done.  The reason i know is because my sister is a rformed drugged addict who has been clean for 16 years. She turned her life around for herself and her son and became a nurse.  I helped her get to where she wanted because she wanted it.  I even quit my job to take care of her son, while she was in the program. \n\nMy brother has just got clean from doing cocaine. It was a long fight he had to go through but he did and asked for help when needed.  \n\nThat is the KEY.  They have to want help.

I treated addicts for many years.  Pot is the number one drug people seek treatment for addiction for.\n\nYou need to seek treatment.  That's key.  Your best bet is to seek treatment from a doctorate level psychologist who specializes in addiction.\n\nYou should seriously consider mysteriously disappearing from your current social group.  The number one problem with addicts trying to quit is the people who hang around them either unconciously or (more usually consciously) sabotage their attempt to treat their addiction.  No addict wants to hear this but the people around you probably are not nice people and they want to keep you addicted for sinister reasons.  They will lie, extort, manipulate and otherwise coerce you to keep you addicted.  I cannot tell you the number of people who are shocked to find this out about the people they call friends.  A great many people feel rightly betrayed by what these people do when they tell them they are quitting.  Likely, this is going on in your life right now but you don't know it.  Understand that everyone else who is an addict has the same reaction.  Well, that's not me, not my friends (or not my lover or spouse).  When they discover differently...well, it hurts.  It hurts ALOT.  But, it's something you must face if you want to be free of drugs.\n\nThe best way to handle this is to disappear and start fresh somewhere else.  Have a new rule in your life....no drug users allowed.  Also, anyone who in any way evidences a pro-drug mentality must be kept out of your life.  I can't emphasize this enough.  This is probably the number one issue keeping you addicted.\n\nIn choosing a new place to live, find the lowest crime rate area in a place where mostly conservative people live.  You want to make it next to impossible to find a drug source or people who have pro-drug sentiments.

As with any drug addiction it depends on the person. If your prone to addiction than once could be enough. If your not prone to addiction it may take awhile but it will eventually it will happen.

Almost no one on crack can ever really stop. I've been there with friends. In the end, I hadda just move on. Too many times he needed a ride to his "brothers house" and I end up at the wrong end of a 9mm 'cause he thought he'd fold a $5 in half and by $50 worth of dope.They end up in jail and what not and you can't live on the street just to support his habit. You either have to put up with it or forget about him.\n\nYour only other option is to move him out in the country where there's no crack to be had. But he may just leave you and go back to where he can get it. Only 2% of ppl addicted to crack or meth can ever live a normal life after it.

i was addicted to ice and was a major pot head . the ice only for about a year . but i have never been addicted to anything more.\nin my life.with ice it's like speed. and i was in a bad point in my life . i don't even know why i kept doing it at first it made me sick every time i did it. and i mean very sick i wouldn't even be able to get out of bed.i remember i had a bag of it and it sat in mt drawer for like a month. i was doing coke instead. but i would spend like 80 bucks a day and just wanted more . right after i did it it was like i hadn't even done it.so i started doing a tiny bit of ice again\nand all of a sudden it stopped making me sick. at first it wasn't that bad i could give my last line to a friend and not think twice. \nbut the next think i knew not only would i not share but I'd take my \nfriends if i got the chance. even if i had plenty i would still buy more so i didn't run out . i started getting speed bumps all over my face. and i would sit down at the computer and stay there for 2 days only stopping to do a line. and i would fuck up the computer to the point it wouldn't run . and then sit there 2-3 more days until i fixed it. i did not want to talk to anyone i just wanted to be alone . i wouldn't answer the phone .i just rotted away in a big pile of ice . i was seeing someone at the time . who loved me i knew it and loved them to . i just couldn't pull my head out of my ass long enough to care . then one day i found out i was going to be a dad . i was told i would never have kids . and the day i found out i just stoped. no rehab nothing. i was sick i slept all the time \nfor like 2 weeks straight . i just couldn't stay awake. and i would dream about ice all the time and think about all the time . \ni had to stop being friends with all my friend . everyone\nso i wouldn't be tempted. and slowly i stoped thinking about it every day. and the next thing i knew i had a beautiful baby girl.\ni still smoked pot up until right after she was born. and i realized\ni couldn't be the best dad i could be stoned and after 13 years of smoking pot i stoped that too. and thats that.

Check with your local mental health department or department of human services to see if there is a local rehab he can go to.  He needs help.  I work in a pharmacy and I see so many people come through that are addicted.  You see it first hand and I know it is not pretty.  Get him help.  He might be mad at first but he will say thank you in the end.  Good luck!

First hold a seance with a ouiji board and 2 of your closest friends.\nThen go to your back yard, find a branch that looks like the letter Y and grab the stick with two hands, one on each fork of the Y\nUs this branch as a divining rod to conjure up random drug addicts at the mall...\nDrug Addicts most often look the same as you and me, that's the scary part, most drug addicts in america hold a job, go to church and having children.  You most often cannot tell a drug addict from appearances only.  Alcoholism is also considered a drug addiction, as is addictions to pain killers,

Crack and Cocaine have dopamine in them, Dopamine makes you smile and makes you happy, Your Body naturally produces Dopamine but Drugs like that give you extra, then addiction happens because the natural dopamine that your body had, was replaced by the artificial dopamine. Usually, by this stage its too late for people to quit, they are addicted like crazy. So once you try it, being peer pressure or whatever, you truly cant stop.

yes...you can be addicted to pretty much anything.  Drugs, alcohol, sex, food, etc.\n\nTYPES OF ADDICTION--\n\n\nAddiction reaches beyond alcohol and drugs. Many people suffer from all sorts of different addictions. Gambling, eating, shopping, sex, internet, work, video games, etc can all be just as addictive in many cases just as destructive to a person. Those behaviors may affect the person differently, but they can be just as devastating as substance dependence. The 12 step program, which was originally devised for overcoming alcoholism, has now been transformed into well over 200 different addiction support groups. Always remember too much of a good thing can hurt you.

Registered Nurse here;  Well Dear, Could be your sabotaging yourself, no one is more equipped to evaluate this question, than you.  Here's what I have seen over and over.  I'm just going to make a comparison here regarding sabotaging oneself.  Drug addicts come in, get clean, gain employment, have an apartment or home, begin regaining self-respect, and the next thing there on drugs again.   I have had so many of these people tell me that they had spent the majority of there adult life doing the drugs and when changes came even though positive, they were unable to balance the success, for they were use to failure, that they knew how to deal with failure, but couldn't accept success.  Please I'm not in anyway saying your on drugs.  I was just trying to use my experience in working with people who can't accept success, or for some reason feel they don't deserve success.  Perhaps, you are the only one standing in your way.  Could it be your more comfortable with failure than success.  But know, you are a worthwhile person, and you deserve success.  Consider counseling, they can really help you gain insight as to the dynamics of what's going on with in you.  \nI appreciate the opportunity to address such a sensitive and heart felt question.

I am wondering if you are trying to ask about drug addict or drug addicts. Drug addicts are people with drug addictions. Below are some definitions of drug addictions.\n\nDrug addiction\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nDrug addiction, substance dependence or chemical dependency is the compulsive use of psychoactive drugs, to the point where the user has no effective choice but to continue use. The phenomenon of drug addiction has occurred to some degree throughout recorded history (see "opium"), though modern agricultural practices, improvements in access to drugs, and advancements in biochemistry have exacerbated the problem significantly in the 20th century with the introduction of purified forms of active biological agents, and with the synthesis of hitherto unknown substances, such as methamphetamine. While "addiction" has been replaced by "dependency" as a clinical term, the terms are used interchangeably here. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_addiction )\n\nOverview\nYou may be hooked emotionally and psychologically. You may have a physical dependence, too. If you have a drug addiction — whether to a legal or illegal drug — you have intense cravings for it. You want to use the drug again and again. When you stop taking it, you may have unpleasant physical reactions.\n\nWhile not everyone who uses drugs becomes addicted, many people do. Drug addiction involves compulsively seeking to use a substance, regardless of the potentially negative social, psychological and physical consequences. Certain drugs, such as narcotics and cocaine, are more likely to cause physical dependence than are other drugs.\n\nBreaking a drug addiction is difficult, but not impossible. Support from your doctor, family, friends and others who have a drug addiction, as well as inpatient or outpatient drug addiction treatment, may help you beat your drug dependence.( http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/drug-addiction/DS00183 )

my own experience is that i was only ready to stop using drugs when i was ready and no one could have made me, i too lost my home and my daughter was taken off me as the drugs had that much power over me. i didnt want the life i was living and was frightened of a life without drugs!!! i was the only person who could change me!! narcotics anonymous deals with the addict that still suffers and if she wants to stop using i suggest you give her the help line number, there she will find people like herself who are living drug free and rebuilding there lives on a daily basis. i also suggest that you contact families anonymous where you will find the support of other people who have been where you are now. the narcotics anonymous web address is below i havent got one for families anonymous but if you did a google search you will find relevent web sites. i hope this helps????

Detox does little to keep them clean long term.  Many have been in and out of detox or treatment centers numerous times.  The lure of the euphoria keeps drawing them back.  Some of them turn into alcoholics if they can't get their drug of choice.\n\nIntervention works with some addicts who have people in their life who are very important to them.  These people have to get together and decide to stand firm, and present it to the addict that either he goes to treatment now and stays clean, or they will disown him.  Everyone has to stand firm, there can be no wiggle room.  Each has to confront him at the intervention.  If this involves the employer, the wife or husband, the parents, the best friends, the clergyman, etc.;  and they are all strong, then it may work.  But many addicts are loners.  If he thinks he is gonna lose his wife, his job, his kids, etc.  he may well quit.  You got to take him immediately to a treament center, which he stays in for a month, then he goes to a half way house for several more months.  He must stay in AA or NA meetings for life.  His old obsession of drug seeking must be replaced with an obsession to stay clean and sober.\n\nTough love is essential.  You are enabling his addiction even simply by being nice to him, and big time if you give him a place to live or money or love.  Half way houses are a cheap place for room and board for a recovering addict or alcoholic, in the company of his peers.  He has to be clean a day or so to get in one.  If he uses, he is kicked out.  He has to get a job to pay the small rent money.  It is a good place for an addict to recover.  They go to lots of meetings.

I think this is all about finding the right set up for you sister.  There is no one solution that will work for everyone and you have to find the right one.  I know of an organization that might be able to help you.\n\nOn their website they say:\n"Obviously, choosing the right drug rehab is absolutely crucial to a successful rehabilitation. The ultimate goal of a drug rehab is to enable the individual to live a life free from the effects of drugs and therefore not going back on them.\n"Under the right circumstances, with the right treatment program, we have seen much success with the various programs we refer.\n"Full drug rehab is only possible with a full commitment from the addict, which the programs we have researched work hard to obtain."\n\nI urge you to try again, see if these guys can help.  They are very into connecting the person up with the right organization and really finding out what is happening with that individual.\n\nTheir website is at:\nhttp://www.addictionhelpservices.com\nPhone: (877) 554-7308\nEmail: info@addictionhelpservices.com
