Question by Chloe: Should my friend go to rehab or will it further hurt her chances of losing custody of her child?
My friend has a bad alcohol problem where she goes on binges and forgets about her son. I know the boy’s father is sick of it. He drinks too but he is what they call a “functioning alcoholic”. I want to really get her into a free rehab (she has no job nor house, everything belongs to her boyfriend who is the father of her 5 year old son). Alot of his relatives (parents, aunt/uncle) live very close and she is terrified of losing custody. She also wants to save her relationship but in order to do this, he needs to keep leaving cases of beer around the house. I went to a 30 day rehab that was free that was decent, I’d like her to go. However, if she admits her problem and goes will this further her chances of atleast having shared custody of her son?

Answer by Mother Martha
Don’t get involved with her problem. You can’t help an alcoholic…she needs to see a professional…a doctor or the police who can direct her somewhere maybe.

Keep out of it !

Answer by Marie K
If both of them are alcoholic and she manages to dry out it should help her.
Have her talk to a counselor to help her decide.

Question by guyster: Why is Adderall considered addictive?
Adderall is a “class II” drug in the US, considered to have “high potential for abuse.” I took it for a while and it wasn’t addictive for me, and my doctor said none of his patients became addicted. I’ve never heard of *anyone* being addicted to it, yet it’s in the same class as Oxycontin, which I’ve heard of a *number* of people being addicted to. Does anyone understand this, or have they become addicted to Adderall?
Personally, I didn’t care for the side-effects; I’m not pro-Adderall, just curious.
To anyone who says it is addictive; back the claim up with proof. Name a single person who became addicted.
When I read about the “True Life” episode mentioned below, it uses words like “habit” and “abuse”, but not “addiction”.
KTK: Actually, I don’t have classic ADHD, and I found it too overstimulating, as you point out, so I don’t think that’s the reason.

Best answer:

Answer by Jeffrey Foster
Yes it is very addictive. Although It isn’t like Oxycontin at all.

Answer by KTK
Maybe you didn’t become addicted because you have ADHD so Adderall calms you down and lets you concentrate. For people who don’t have ADHD, adderall is basically speed. It’s made of amphetamine salts, and is supposedly just as addictive as crystal meth. I don’t know anyone personally who is addicted to it, but I know lots of people who use it recreationally as speed so maybe some of them are addicted and I just don’t know it. There was an episode on MTV of “True Life” where ther was a girl who was in rehab because she was an adderall addict.
