People and the families of drug or alcohol abusers who contact me to enter our drug-free detox and rehab program are spilling their stories of grief to me daily. This caller's information doesn't even make me blink anymore.
He's been to 6 different programs, all 12 Step, 3 medical. They put him on wellbutrin, concerta, celexa, zyprexa. Oh, he's also ADHD and Bi-polar. We just don't know what to do with him anymore.
This mother is calling for help. She was given 'help' by the 3 other centers that put him on the above meds. One has to ask: Is this rehab or 'pill stacking'? Pill stacking is the use of multiple drugs to get intoxicated.
