Question by graccam: Urgent! HK Lai Chi Kok Reception Center. “Case: Drug”?
Professional opinions are urgently needed!

My friend has been suffering from insomnia for more than 8 years and has been diagnosed to have Depression in Psychiatric Specialits. However, due the the insufficient no. of sleeping spills given by the psychiatrist, he bought the over-the-counter sleeping spills namely Dopareel (but I also heard some ppl called it A.P.O). He had once been penalised for bout $ 2000 as keeping this ‘toxic’ drugs in 2007. Before the Chinese Lunar Holiday, he was caught by the ploice.and this time the case was brought to the court again. He was sent to the Lai Chi Kok Reception Center and will be staying there until 23/4 for the sake of getting the “Report”. I am not sure of what kinda the report is about. should be about whether he’s got any addiction of the drug. In addiction, he needs to consult the psychologist in late April.
The questions I wanna ask are:
1. Will the stay be prolonged in the Center?
2. How could he seek legal aids?
3. The 1st time urine analysis shows that it is PURE. and what would he be sent to the Reception Center?
4. How how probably he will be sent to the prison/ Hei Ling Chau Addiction Treatment Center?

Your friend needs to contact an attorney. The attorney will be able to answer these questions. He (or you, or a friend) should be able to ask the authorities at the center how to obtain legal aid.

Good luck.

Give your answer to this question below!

Alcoholism is a plague which does not discriminate between man and woman. It affects women just as it affects men, but even more so. Researchers have found that women are more prone to falling prey to alcoholism than men. There bodily systems being different the problems they face are entirely different and in some cases severe. Thus, women are more prone to developing health risks via alcoholism as compared to men. Even women who drink on occasion or socially are at risk. alcoholic rehab for women helps these women overcome this addiction and lead a normal and healthy life.

Why do women drink? It is not aimed at being a sexist question but it is seen that women drink for the same reasons that men do. Physical or sexual abuse, strained or stressed relationship issues, low self-esteem etc. have all known to be contributing factors. The best addiction treatment help such women with support and aid them to identify the root of such issues and support them to eliminate the problems. If addiction crosses the safety threshold then not only will the woman face psychological and emotional problems, she will also develop serious health disorders as breast and liver cancer, osteoporosis, memory loss and brain damage, problems in the reproductive system etc. The female systems are not made to handle the damage a male system can take without sustaining serious loss.

The best alcohol rehab centers for women can be a bit intimidating at first because frankly most do not know what to expect and they back off. Every center has its own personalized and effective rehab programs which address specific needs of the individual. All in all the treatment involves a 3 tier process—Detoxification, Counseling and Aftercare. Detoxification consists of withdrawal from alcohol without going into relapse. Patients are taught methods of self-control and determination; they are also educated on the harmful effects of alcohol.

Detoxification is painful to most as it is hard to let go of the cravings but the process is short yet effective. After detoxification the individual is encouraged to attend support groups to share her experiences and find solace in the many other women who have let go and are happy about it. New strategies are taught to avoid breaking your resolve. The aftercare is usually a 12-step program which helps you to continue abstaining from liquor and maintain a healthy and alcohol free life.
