I have a loved one, who was forced to go to rehab to help lessen her punishment for a charge she received for fighting in school. As a fifteen year old, rehab isn’t the top on the to-do list. So they do whatever they can to get out the fastest they can. Once they’re out, all is good for about a month, and that’s usually when the old habits start to kick back in. The old friends start to come around, bringing the same drugs around as well, not to feel peer pressured, but let’s be real for a second, no fifteen year old is going to pass up a good time with a long lost friend. So, the downward spiral begins again. But this time, probation is a key factor, because the rehab gig was court ordered. So now when she fails her next drug test, they give her a warning and add an extra month onto probation. And the next? Not quite, she’s arrested and put in the back of a squad car and sent to York County Detention Center for Juveniles. For thirty whole days and then back to rehab for thirty more. When we got family visitations, of course she is so emotional, ready to change and come home to make everything right. But can we really believe her this time? She’s lied, stolen and manipulated all of her loved ones so many times, it’s of course hard to trust her word. Luckily for us, lockup and rehab helped her. She realized she let the ones who love her the most down, but we never left her side and she’s more appreciative than ever. She’s now

Thus far she had been in custody for 6 weeks. Crystal had been a lifetime user, when asked what her drug of choice was she gave the response “anything and everything”.

The signs of a drug addiction consist of a high craving of drugs with no regard for the way in which the addict has to get it, whether it be legal or illegal. She was begging to come inside the house. According to “Drug Addiction Treatment Methods” on Drug-rehabs.com it says, “There are several types of drug abuse treatment programs. Short-term methods last less than 6 months and include residential therapy, medication therapy, and drug-free outpatient therapy. Longer term treatment may include, for example, methadone maintenance outpatient treatment for opiate addicts and residential therapeutic community treatment” (Drug).
