Doctors/Med Professionals: Should Illicit Drug Users Get Free Medical Treatment?
Question by JDA: Doctors/Med Professionals: Should illicit drug users get free medical treatment?
I want to know what the medical profession thinks. Please note, I’m from Australia (where there is universal healthcare)
I know many out in the community abuse illicit drugs because of life circumstances- they have mental issues, take heroin, wind up in prostitution to pay for it, then need the heroin to cope with the prostitution.
Or perhaps veterans who didn’t receive adequate psychological care have PTSD and then take illicit drugs to cope day to day.
Or even those whose chronic pain only responds to marijuana.
My Boyfriend Struggles With Drug Addiction, Depression and Family Issues. Do I Stay and Help or Walk Away?
Question by asdjfalskjriowerj: My boyfriend struggles with drug addiction, depression and family issues. Do I stay and help or walk away?
I have a boyfriend of 8 months who has struggled with cocaine addiction. He is 38 years old – has a number of issues with his father, his family and personal struggles with himself regarding his current place in life – no house, unstable income etc. His cocaine use has affected our relationship…he’s promised to stop, attended a few Cocaine Anonymous classes (for the first time, through my request) but continues to use. He admits that he has a problem and knows he may need some kind of help, but hasn’t taken that final step to get there. Most of the time he’ll use by himself, approximately once a week (that I know of). It’s his escape from the isseus in his life and the only way he knows how.
