Treatments

I've only visited this website a couple of times. My original question was to convince my son to get help for his pill addiction. I saw a website in Houston called Detox Houston (which is where he lives) & I convinced him to go. The website looks great & sounds great but it is not. It's a joke. There is no follow-up help at all. He's had some terrible relapses & now I'm trying to find something else. He wants something that he can do as an outpatient. How do you go about finding a decent doctor/therapist to help you?

You might try to go to the ASAM.org website and find the list of doctors.  These area doctors who have passed a certification test in addiction medicine and are generally pretty good.  Hope this helps.

If he is relapsing quite often I would look at inpatient first. Outpatient takes willpower.
