Alcohol Detoxification

Can you answer Kristen’s question about Addiction?:

ok after months of denial i’ve come to admit that i have an addiction to cocaine. i’ve tried stopping by myself but the withdrawals just get so bad to the point where i break down and cry and end up having a huge binge. it’s terrible.. i don’t want to stop, i NEED to. i can’t even seem to function without it. i can’t ask help from my parents for numerous reasons. i’ve also already gotten caught for it and i lied and said it was a one-time thing. i’ve just dug myself into the biggest hole. i really would not appreciate a lecture on substance abuse, considering it’s a little late for that. i need ideas on how to conquer this, or at least settle it down for the moment because it’s starting to get really out of hand.. going to a rehab or counseling is out of the question. it also doesn’t help much that my boyfriend is extremely caught up in recreational drugs.. so the temptation is always there. i need help and fast because i can’t live like this anymore. what can i do on my own?
the thing with the whole rehab and parents thing is that when they first found out about me doing coke, i lied to them and said i only did it once. and they said if you seriously have a problem you have to tell us now because if we find out your lying, we’re not helping you. and at the time i just thought this was gonna be a fun run and i would never need help but this has just turned out to be so much worse than i ever could’ve imagined. and i’m terribly embarrassed to say how young i am, but i’m 16, i can’t drive, if i tell my parents, not only would they flip out, they would seriously disown me.. we don’t have a very good relationship, and i just don’t know how i can get help with all these hindrances which is why i wanted to try on my own. but all of you are right, i can’t do it. i just don’t know what to do

by the way all your comments are extremely appreciated.. thank you all so much

Intensive Outpatient Drug Rehab

Can you answer shane c’s question about Addiction?:

In Hawaii first time DUI offenders must take a 14 hour substance abuse rehab program course. I am moving back to Florida two days after my hearing and was wondering if anyone new if it was possible to complete the program in Florida? If not I’ll have to fly back to Hawaii just to take this program. To me a “rehab” program can be done anywhere.
