Are There Free Drug Rehab Facilities/programs in Georgia?
Question by holli08: Are there free drug rehab facilities/programs in Georgia?
My dad seems to be addicted to Xanax. He is currently in jail for a couple of things that happened last week after taking 12 Xanax in a day (we believe). I believe that he is probably taking other drugs as well. I don’t know a lot about Xanax abuse, but he goes into these fits of rage and does and says things he would never do in his right mind and then later swears he didn’t do them. We are all very worried about him. He is also epileptic and had 3 seizures about 4 months ago and almost died. He had another seizure while in jail 2 days ago. I really want him to go into a treatment facility, but he has no insurance. His lawyer says that if we can find one that is free that he can get a court order for him to go to it. This whole situation is so stressful.

Medication Options Drug treatments come in two major types: bronchodilators and anti-inflammatories. Bronchodilators. These relax muscles inside bronchial tubes, which will help reduce overall airflow obstruction. They also improve the ability to clear mucus and the endurance of fatigued respiratory muscles. Bronchodilators also come in two main categories: anticholinergics and beta-antagonists. Anticholinergics. These are used to decrease mucus secretions and are actually the drug of choice for COPD maintenance and may also help slow progression of disease. Beta-agonists. These are used to dilate airways. Anti-inflammatories. Ani-inflammatory drugs are used to subdue inflammation in airways. Anti-inflammatories that are typically used are inhaled steroids, or “corticosteroids.” They work well in about 10 to15 percent of COPD patients, but overuse can weaken the bones and increase the risk of high blood pressure and diabetes.
