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?

Best answer:

Answer by craftylass
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.

In today’s always changing and fast paced environment, many individuals acquire different kinds of health issues that stem from their inability to handle with the transformations around them. Unfortunately, some people express their failure to handle stress and the demands of everyday living by falling into the pitfall of addiction.

Many individuals who suffer from addiction are the ones who go through unmanageable tendencies, which is often attributable to depression and anxiety. Usually, these people don’t realize their addiction until it has altogether consumed control over their lives.

There are various institutions that provide support and the much needed attention for many who are trying to uncover a remedy for their addiction and depression. Addicts can depend on rehabilitation centers such as Ontario Drug Rehab Center to provide them an alternative healing solution that will not only let them encounter their personal hurtful emotions but additionally teach them the most effective ways to manage their own negative thoughts and actions.

It is vital for addicts to find out where their damaging thoughts and destructive behavior are caused by. This is where most drug rehabilitation centers differ. Some rehabilitation centres concentrate mainly on the individuals damaging behavior and do not provide more focus on what truly causes their depression and altered thinking.

The most effective treatment is the one that enables the addicts to address their suffering and voice their feelings. Ontario Drug Rehab Center goes a step further by allowing the addicts to direct their deep emotions toward a more inspiring approach.

By providing recovering addicts the ability to exhibit themselves creatively, Ontario Drug Rehab Center successfully leads them to the best road to recovery. This holistic approach to addiction recovery demonstrates to addicts to evaluate their emotions and control their problems by getting more in contact with their own senses.

There are 7 senses that analyse information in a person’s environment, and these send equivalent alerts to the brain. When addicts become more responsive to their senses (sight, smell, touch, taste, hearing, balance, and inner sensations), they eventually realize that they cannot feel their thoughts. They discover that their depression and negative thought processes are absolutely nothing but physical sensations.

By paying close awareness of what they sense from their environment, addicts have the ability to search for the source of their hardship. They discover that each time they worry, their thoughts send impulses to their brain. It is actually not the thought that they are feeling but their bodys response to the physical sensations induced by the thought itself.

This is how it works. Every time a person starts to worry, he transmits a thought that the brain recognizes as a risk. The brain then transmits signals to the body to protect itself by releasing chemicals like adrenaline and cortisol. The body reacts appropriately to the information sent by the brain, signals which can be triggered by the feelings of a person who began stressing.

Simply by being familiar with this, addicts realize the significance of paying closer awareness of what they sense from their surroundings. They figure out how to manage their thoughts far better so that they can steer clear of the possible body reactions that can bring about their anxiety and depression. It is this kind of addiction healing approach which places Ontario Drug Rehab Center apart from the others since it is where addicts learn how to be better linked to their own mankind.
