LORICET ADDICTION

[TThomas0220]

My husband has been addicted to some kind of pill since he was 16, he is now 45.  He has spent all our money and will do about anything to get money to get pills.  He has taken as many as 50 a day.  He is killing himself.  He has agreed to get help but I don't know where to turn if anyone has answers please tell me

We live in Ky and there are alot of people who abuse loricets here, they are very easy to get.  He says he has not taken any in over a week but I don't know,  I don't know what to do.  Thanks for listening

I agree with Gizzy.I'm not a doctor but taking 50 pills a day I would think requires a medical detox.There are members here who can help you find some resources in your area.I'm sure they will be around soon.Please keep posting.All the best...Kim

There is never an easy answer, but there are options available. It sounds to me like he needs inpatient rehab, but that is not always easy to do. Is he willing to detox somewhere? He will need help to do this because abusing pills that long will take awhile to recover from but he will if he sticks to it. There are N/A meetings out there, a counsellor would do wonders to help both of you heal also. You will get some good advice here so stick around.

What kinds of pills is he taking now?
