Question by dru boi: How do people get prescribed enough narcotics to get addicted?
I just noticed there are alot of people on here and in my life, whom have gotton hooked on narcotics ie. tylenol #3, vicodin, percocet, endocet, oxycodone, dilaudid, morphine,..my question is, how do these people get prescribed enough of these drugs to get addicted in the first place, any doctor should know that if you take X amount of X for X amount of time, then the patient will become addicted. And then when they get addicted, the doctor just keeps writing scripts.

Addiction is different for different people. Some people get addicted more quickly than others. The doctor will perscribe the required medication for the particular ailment.
Also most addicts will not say they are addicts to their doctors. I believe they cannot perscribe medication to addicts…but don’t quote me on that.
It is more of the fault of the addict than it is the doctor. He/she gives the tools to make you better….It what the patient does with those tools that is more of the issue

Someone wrote me saying Teen Challenge is sometimes free. My best guess is thats true, but usually I think they try to get substantial money if they can, which is understandable I guess considering room and board and everything? else would be at their expense otherwise.
If memory serves me it’s about $1,600 per month and people can not have an outside job. I believe it used? to be in my area. No money to pay you don’t get in – or at least thats what I understood. I looked into it when I was addicted and the intake guy was like a heavy handed salesman more than a representative of Christ and was abusive in the way he interviewed me so I had zero interest in going.
I am not sure of the cost but I agree it is not for everyone, and it does cost because it is a live in treatment and discipleship program and a person is required to share in the cost if they? are able to.
I know some people who were helped by Teen? Challenge, but it’s expensive and not for everyone
Further more Christians who have a serious addiction to drugs need the power of the FULL GOSPEL to recover – NOT some heretical, wishy, washy excuse for the gospel. Russell if you think Celebrate Recovery helps you with your codependency issues – I? was going to say “keep going” but I really do not believe that. I think CR enables codependency and I am far and away not alone in that belief. See MacMahon – the Beareans a best selling Christian author – although not a Kingdom or Full Gospel guy.
“Spiritual Principle #1” which is “spiritual poverty” is heresy. Warren misunderstands the scripture Jesus was speaking about people who were not full of themselves as being blessed. As Christians we are “heirs of Christ”, “blessed with every spiritual blessing” according to God’s word. It doesn’t get any more opposite to spiritual poverty. . Of course Warren also signed a document which states Muslims &? Christians worship the same God. That is also heresy.
Most Christians I have met with drug and alcohol problems who have attended CR (over 100) hated it. And the only (recovered?) drug addicts I have met who liked it had really serious codependency issues. That can only be is someone does not have the right identity in Christ. Small wonder. “Spiritually poor?” Heck no!! I’m blessed with every spiritual blessing in? heavenly places and an heir of Christ. A true believer who speaks in tongues casts out demons – lays hands on sick & they recover!
Its a difficult thing to prove – statistically because non are kept, but I stand by my statement and I am certain its a fact. Babbling? Did you watch the whole video? I seriously doubt it.. Very funny – insults followed by “God bless you?” Are you going there for codependency issues? My experience however is factual and having attended both when I was addicted and free I went to about 50 meetings. I only met i man who? said he recovered thru CR. He died a short time later – on drugs?
Teen Challenge is a program of David Wilkerson that is based on God’s word, he developed it in working with gangs, drug and alcohol addictions in New York City. But I agree Celebrate? Recovery is just scripture and Beattudes and psychological principles added to a regular 12 step program. And everytime a lesson quotes a verse it is from a different modern translation.
You should back your claims with facts.? Saying that very few, if any, people recover in CR is frankly an un investigation statement. You simply are babbling stuff you can not back up. God bless you.
