Drug Treatment Centers in Oakland

Question by Allie: My mom’s a drug addict?
So my mom was a good mom when i was very young, she was stable. She met my step dad who is like a father to me but he has issues of his own. He was always into drugs, so my mom is now to… my mom has a severe problem with opiates, and sleeping pills, every day she come’s home from work her eyes are all dilated and she’s so out of it she falls asleep standing up. It’s actually very annoying. My dad smoke’s a lot of MJ, but he is the same way just more controlled i guess. We move everywhere, I’m only 17. And I’ve lived in Ohio, Florida, Utah, it’s been an adventure but not a fun one. Switching high schools more than 6 time’s is very hard. My parents, mom and step dad, split for a couple of month’s so my mom became a raging alcoholic she has seizures always had since she was little. So it made life very hard, she was in and out of the hospital, tried to commit suicide couple of time’s in front of little sister. So they put her in a mental institute, she left within two days and still kept drinking. She has slowed down now but take’s pills at same time. She is just a mess i love her more than anything but don’t think there’s anyway to help someone who doesn’t want to help themselve’s. Help please!    Read more...
