How Addiction Happens

Question by deirdre s: Can someone please tell me how to find drug rehabilitation centers in Salamanca, New York?
I have a friend who died due to the adverse effects of heroin. For a time, I was just angry at drugs, angry at the people who were doing drugs. Don’t they know that they’re hurting their loved ones by doing that? But then I realized that my anger won’t do me any good at all. So now I have decided to help out. I would like to become an addiction counselor and I need to ask around at various rehabs about the requirement before I become one.

Question by ?: Does this sound like a possible drug addiction?
I used to date this guy. He’s now 20 years old.

A year ago, when we dated, he was tan, very fit, had muscles, had perfectly clear skin, got his hair cut all the time, was clean cut, smelled good. He was hot. He never went to parties or clubs back then but he did stay up late.

I just saw him after a year of not seeing each other. He looked really bad. He was really pale (it’s hot where we live), he looked boney, he doesn’t shave his face anymore, his hair is a long and dirty mess, his face is broken out in acne, bags under his eyes, and doesn’t seem to be care about hygeine.    Read more...
