Yes. Tell your friend to stop using illegal drugs. Only idiots use illegal drugs.

Started With a DUI, Failed Drug Test Once With Alcohol, Then Again for Cocaine 2 Violations of Probation…?
Question by ;lkajsl;kjfdkjd: Started with a DUI, failed drug test once with alcohol, then again for cocaine 2 violations of probation…?
My girlfriend got a DUI in Georgia about a year ago and is still on probation. She failed her first drug test for alcohol (which she thought would be acceptable. she is 22!!). Court ordered that she goes to 90 AA meetings (so far shes gotten 4-5 meetings/week) and get drug tested each week… Last week we found out she failed a test for cocaine (not a normal user) and has now been in jail for 6 days now. Her court is in 3 more days and I have arranged for a court appointed lawyer (no $ for expensive one!!) What kind of penalty should we expect for this? Please, someone with experience in violation of probation cases…
Is she looking at jail time, boot camp, house arrest, or rehab?? and how long will it be?
THANK YOU!
I know she makes stupid choices. You and I both do also… Please do not tell me to break up with someone I’m in love with because Its not going to happen. I want a serious answer please.
Well I figured I’d contribute a real life answer to anyone who researches this question… She had a court appearance today. The judge revoked her probation totaling a year and a half left (if she stays the entire sentence she will probably get this time cut in half or serve around 9 or 10 months). She is up for review in 30 days after getting a drug evaluation at the jail (so they can learn her problems, i guess). Hopefully in 30 days they will make her go to rehab for a few months or something that will help her learn how to handle her life instead of spending time in jail. And by the way… You are not eligible for a court appointed lawyer in the state of Georgia when you violate probation on a technical status like hers (drug test), you have to actually get arrested and add a new charge to violate your probation to receive a court appointed lawyer. Its like she may have been better off getting caught with cocaine on her person when she was arrested…Hope this helps someone!
Random Drug Screening Montgomery Pa?
Question by Frank H: Random drug screening montgomery pa?
Last tuesday I plead guilty to a dui for cocaine in montgomery county. The incident took place last october. I attended an in patient rehab and havent done cocaine since. However, I have smoked marijuana. Thursday I received a letter from Montgomery County Adult Probation to inform me of a “change in judicial policy” and that the board of judges has directed the department to randomly drug test individuals currently on probation. I received a card with a number to call with a number to refer to. My number was instructed to report to the Montgomery County Adult Probation Center to submit a urine test. I do not live in Montgomery County and was told by the Public Defenders Office and The Probation clerk that I would not have to travel there for drug tests or meeting with a probation officer. What I would like to know is if this is common, was I given the legal amount of time required to take a drug test, will this violation require me to go to jail?
Chronic Pain and Drug Addiction…please Help.?
Question by Scooter: Chronic pain and drug addiction…please help.?
I have a friend whose son takes medication for a legitimate chronic pain. He is also, unfortunately addicited to several illicit drugs, and was already a heavy drinker when he was injured. Does anyone know of a treatment facility geared to handle drug addicition and pain management. Everything here has failed. The family doctor is concerned for his life.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The pain medication is prescribed by a doctor and is absolutely neccessary. He is under the care of competant pain management. The problem is most treatment facilities are only set up to get the drugs out of you. They aren’t set up to try and determine which ones need to really stay in you. we need advanced drug and alchohol treatment combined with pain management.
Can I Admit My 17 Year Old Son Into a Drug Rehab Center Without His Permission?
Question by : Can I admit my 17 Year Old son into a drug rehab center without his permission?
My son is 17 years old, and has a severe drug addiction problem. He’s on nearly every Hallucinogen, and smokes marijuana daily. He won’t go into a drug rehab program, we’ve tried before. Can I commit him without his consent? I’ve heard before that at 17 he needs to sign a consent form, which he won’t. But there must be a way to get him help, he’s not even 18 yet. We live in Vermont if that helps. Thank you for your answers, we greatly appreciate them.
I Think I’m Addicted to Weed? Please Help Me With This Question?
Question by Kyle: I think I’m addicted to weed? Please help me with this question?
I heard that weed isn’t physically addicting but I really think I’m addicted mentally. I used to only do it once a month or so but now that I get it on my own, I’m doing it at least a couple of times a day. I used to be very cautious of doing it because my job does random drug testing but that doesn’t even bother me much any more. All I think about anymore is packing the pipe and getting high. I also noticed that I haven’t been sleeping good ever since I started doing it every day for whatever reason.
