Meth Drug Addiction

What Are Some Ways That People Broke Drug Addictions Historically?

Question by Flower Player: what are some ways that people broke drug addictions historically?
I am doing a report but after tons and tons of research, I CANNOT FIND HISTORICAL DIAGNOSES FOR DRUGS, I am looking for ways that have been put out of practice, for example, one historical treatment for illness was “leeching” putting a leech on somebody, and letting them drink out all of the “bad blood”. Once again, I am looking for discontinued practices for breaking drug abuse.

Answer by Angela
Your search may have been futile, because for a long time, what we know as “drug addiction” wasn’t recognized as a mental or social problem.

I’m in the Foster Care System, Please Answer?

Question by =): I’m in the foster care system, please answer?
I’ve had the most horrible experience being in foster care. I’ve been from group home to hospital over and over again. When I turned 15 they started putting me in foster homes… most of which were dirty. There was roaches in one and I had to share one bedroom with four other girls.
I started running away and instead of the system realizing they’re putting me in terrible places, they told me I was “troubled” and “uncontrolable”.
I turned 18 in April, and now I’m pregnant. This wonderful foster care system that they still wont let me leave is sending me to ANOTHER bad place for “pregnant teenagers.” I just dont know what to do. It’s in a bad area, and I dont want to be there… but everyone thinks I just dont know whats best.
How do I get it across to my social worker and judge that I don’t want to live in these crappy sh*tholes they’re putting me in and I deserve to be treated with respect?
I dont care what anyone says… the foster care system in CA hides a lot of the bad things.
In california they try to keep you until you’re 21. So, Im still a ward of the court, and if I want to no longer be considered a child, I need to “emancipate” myself.
However, this doesnt work unless they approve it, which they havent. =(
