Yes. I am sure there are outpatient facilities. You may want to request a mentor or partner for the times outside the center. Its wonderful that you want to get better. Centers are willing to assist. Additionally volunteer if you can and some of the local shelters while you are recovering. This can help give you a sense of self and help you stay on the track to recovery…thats only if you are ready to do so emotionally.
Wishing you the best.

Question by Vanity: Does anyone know how NA (Narcotics Anonymous) meetings work?
I’m going to an NA meeting today with one of my friends, because I’ve had the urge to want to continue drug use. I was a coked out heroin addict all 2008, and part of 2009, and I’m terrified to go to these meetings. I feel like it’s all set up whereas the cops are going to bust in and arrest everyone there.
How do these meetings work??

Answer by Em
They work just like AA meetings. No cops. Relax.

Question by Looking For Cats: My question is about Narconon and AA. I have been told in yahoo answers that they do not work.?
is there anyone who can tell me why they do not work, why they are funded by the government if they do not work, why people are being sent to them by the legal system and why they are so popular if they do not work? this is all very frustrating to me as I have a 12 year old little girl who has some problems, we are trying the NA and the AA and nothing seems to be working. thanks for your input.

Answer by Chiro has the answer
I believe these places can work, but honestly, the addict or one with the problem seriously needs to “want” to be helped. This is rare because if there is an addiction there and a desire for that “high” feeling, that is so hard to shake off. It’s like not being able to function without that cup of coffee in the morning or that hot bath at night.

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.

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.
