User ID: 36329301 United States 05/18/2013 11:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Doctor/medical-assisted detox for opiate dependent patients. Too many people have gotten hooked on these things and whether you want to or not it's a bitch to stop. Trying to find time to take off work, let alone afford it is difficult. Knowing you could be weeks of being unable to function correctly makes it hard to keep a full time job and go through the process on your own. I'd start by handing out flyers at the 4+ local pain management doctor's offices so they could contact us without fear of being looked down on by the doctor. Then I'd interview them and see who I felt was most likely ready to turn their life around and had the best chance of success. These people would be afforded the money to go through a medically-assisted detox. Skipping the horrible pains of withdrawals, but also allowing them to return to their jobs and be functioning members of their family and the community within just a few days. That's what I'd do. I'd start with myself. If you consider that a sob story then fine, but I'm not complaining, just know what could change lots of lives. 100k/~3-5k = ~20-30+ lives changed for the better. That could make a lot of difference in a small community/city. Not that I believe you, but what the hell. |
