A person can be hooked the first time meth is used. It is a very addictive drug. I don’t use drugs but I work in corrections and see lives devastated every day.

Question by jake: How long does it take for a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program to last?
I want to undergo a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. I want to start over with my life and I think allowing myself to be sober and detoxified is my first step to recovery. I’m worried about the time, though. I want to know how long the program will last because I want to be fully-recovered by the time my sister Sam gets married (which is in 6 weeks). Please help. Thank you.

I suggest you make an appointment with the facility you are most interested in being committed to. They will give you realistic goals and facts about rehab. Every person is different, and it’s not only going to rehab that makes you clean, it’s the desire not to go back to that type of behavior. Really WANTING it is the first and largest step to getting clean. Good Luck!

Question by reesh: how long does methamphetamines and cannabis stay in the bloodstream?
Best answer:
Answer by Crissty
The length of time that drugs remain in your body varies according to a lot of factors. However, on average, methamphetamine will be detected for up to 8 hours and marijuana for up to about 48-72 hours.
Some of the factors which can vary these figures include:
The purity of the drug
How much you have
How you have it
How often you have them
What other drugs you have
Your mood and environment
Your tolerance to the drugs
Your sex and age
Your general health and well-being, and
Your general metabolic state
Methamphetamine remains in the bloodstream for long periods of time after a user ingests it. NIDA reports that as much as 50 percent remains in the bloodstream 12 hours post-use.
As with Marijuana I think if you’re a light-moderate user it stays like 72 hours. As for the more heavy users, I have no idea, longer I’d imagine, but I don’t see it staying longer than 2 weeks in your bloodstream. THC level depends on how long it stays in your fat cells.
Since you didnt give any other details this is the best i can do.

Question by simple: What are the long term effects of someone smoking crack?
A friend’s husband started smoking and she is very concerned. He has a lot of responsibilities which he is so far able to attend to but what happens if he continues? Is he really not hooked as he claims – is that possible? He says he only smokes to take the edge off and not to worry. What do you think?

Question by jamc2009: Narconon does it work and is it harmful, does anyone know if it works and for how long.?
Do they really make you run for hours as posted on the internet, sounds ridiculous and unhealthy for a reocovering addict who is going to be extremely tired for a year or until the drug is out of his system. I’m thinking about having my son go there for is drug addiction but I want to be sure it is the right place. He has excema (skin condition) will they treat it with a prescription cream that works or are they against any type of medicine.
This is a serious meth addiction of 7 years not belly fat

Answer by emanwelgwent
The short answers are:
1. No, it doesn’t really work.
2. It is rather unhealthy, although IIRC it’s main plank is many hours of sauna and massive doses of vitamins.
3. Maybe – maybe not. It’s unlikely that Narconon would treat for a skin condition – whether or not they would prevent use of medicated cream depends on the official in charge. Narconon – as a branch of scientology – has peculiar views on medication, and will try to stop people using anything they consider mind altering – this can include painkillers.
For analysis of Narconon:

in particular: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Narconon/doesitwork.htm
and: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Narconon/safety.htm
There are concerns about Narconon’s safety. I’ve seen at least one Answerer here who had a bad experience with Narconon, and hopefully you’ll get to see her views for yourself.
Be aware that Narconon is a front group for scientology – it uses scientology doctrine and there may be pressure to join the cult.

Question by on_the_move4ever: How do you find work after a long gap in employment?
I haven’t worked since August 2002. I’m on disability. I was approved the first time. I’ve been working very hard in rehab to improve, and I finished 17 months of physical therapy in March, (I’m still doing PT, but on my own now). The doctors still have not cleared me to work yet – they aren’t going to clear me until pain is under control and I’m off narcotics, and I’m still on narcotics and I still don’t have pain under control. But I”m trying. I want to work very bad- especially since my wife died and I”m here all day. But how do you deal with the gap, everyone I spoke with requires recent experience. That won’t be the case for me. Most likely I will have to find something else to do and start over. I just don’t know what that might be. Should I just let the DVR handle dealing with the employers? I don’t know.

Answer by wahini on shore
Since you are disabled, you can be going to school for new job training. I think disability or something could or would (maybe) pay for it. I would think most employers would be understanding of a gap in employment because of a disability.
