This is a wicked method for rehab. Do you know how bad withdrawal symptoms are especially when you go cold turkey?

Rehab centers are much better where the victims can be supervised and cared for.

He needs that pain, and he needs to remember that pain. He also needs to be scared of having a repeat of that pain.
you don't cuddle drug addict.

My fellow nairalanders, I seriously need help with my younger brother. He has practically gone mad due to substance abuse. He takes weed like water and not only that, he also takes ice (mkpulu mmili).

We are tired of talking. Even our village vigilante had arrested him and beaten him in the past yet nothing changed.

He no longer behaves normal. He doesn't bath. He no longer does his mechanic work (which he was very good at). He now chases customers away.

Please does anyone know anything that can be done about it? I have thought of taking him to a rehabilitation centre but there is none that I know of. Meanwhile he's in Enugu in case anybody wants to make a suggestion.

I need recommendations please, aside prayers because we have been praying about it already.

Thank you all.

There's a Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital in Enugu, you can take him there for detoxification and rehabilitation.

He might need to be admitted for like 3 months to ensure he not only detoxifies, but also he properly rehabilitated which entails learning the skills he'll need to cope when he's outside the protected environment of the hospital admission, and back into the real world, where those substances are not going to disappear because of him.

Rehabilitation is where the real work is, cos even if he gets better after admission, he must do the work of maintaining a life without drugs in the real world out there.

I'm a Psychiatrist in training and can offer more well informed advice if you need it, although at a fee.

You can hit me up on 07034533961- Dr. Lawal.

Have a great day.

Find a way of locking him up in a secluded place for at least 6 months

illicit:


He may harm himself like hanging or stab himself with anything

The place must be properly prepared. No hard objects, not even a bed. Just foam on the floor. Heck, even the backroom should not be tiled on the floor. If you have rehab money, okay, but nothing will work for him without him experiencing a pain stronger than his addiction.

Otilo.
Who done craz don craz.
It's very hard to bring him back to normalcy

Wrong. It is just like trying to quit pornography at once by blocking access to all pornographic material. You will stay clean and suffer your konji but the day, you come across easy access to pornography once again, you will relapse into a worse state. The only difference is that it's worse, far worse with drugs. You're not dealing with konji but severe deprivation worse than hunger and thirst. It's not a good place to be at all.

Rehabilitation is mind training to a level that if you see the drug again, you won't take it because you know it's bad for you. You don't do that by locking up a junkie in solitary.

Denalarian:
Beating him wasn't supposed to be a wise solution or treath.. my own solution is to lock him up in a private room for 2 months with constant food and water to detox, then rehab should follow.. cos what ice can not do doesn't exist, it's like a god that's worshipped violently and blesses its worshippers with abnormalities!..

Locking him up with food and water without
Medication will make him mad quickly. It's not about locking him up and not allowing him access to the drugs but also making sure his body is detoxifying from the drugs by giving him required medication. I work in mental health hospitals and I know that patients who refuses medication are usually worse off than when they take the hard drug self because without proper medication they won't even eat the food or drink the water hence they tends to be worse off. Get Ur brother to a mental health facility asap @ops

Digmygold:
Take him to a Mental Health Institution and stop washing your dirty linen in public.

Better to wash it this way than at a funeral.

faceland:
It's not the weed, it's he ICE.

Minimum of 6 months rehab (go to NDLEA DDRD program, I think it is less than 30k a month). Depending on how hooked he is, he would come close to death why it is good he surrounded by other junkies that has been there done that.

Thanks Bro. How can one access this programme? Do they have office in Enugu?

faceland:


It take more than one month for him not to run straight to taking it when he is freed... And a mechanic has the brain/straight to escape through the ceiling. They need proper rehab with concrete and bars... If he eat 1k food a day, paying rehab 30k a month is nothing.

ICE is too expensive so how long before he start stealing?

This is exactly my thought. That guy is too crafty. He will escape through the roof, and it's a bungalow.

Bintasukai:


Give him DMT. Take this advice seriously. Next time e near ice, na him brain go rebel for am. DMT stopped my 20 year old weed habit dead in its tracks!

What's DMT?

NL is not a Medical Advisory Board though.

spinna:
Meth is VERY bad.. it gives such an intense pleasure the brain wants more and the person stops eating and starts acting very weird..prayer and very good rehab is your solution but no guarantees once meth use has started

prayer ? That’s the worst thing to suggest. If prayer works Tinubu wouldn’t be president today .

Social media no be hospital o.

Always seek professional help

Nnamekus1:

Dimethyltryptamine

Why I mentioned rehab after detox was because some the patients bribe the security guards from their upkeep to get them these hard drugs then smuggle them out to take the drugs. Another reason is to Hire a mental health practitioner to work him through the process at home..

Ice?

Just adopt another brother

Even the plates you will use to serve him food should be rubber plates. No cutlery whatsoever. There is nothing else he can do but withdraw from the effects of the drugs no matter how painful it will be to him. I am telling you, humans respond better to fear than to love.

tete7000:


Withdrawal symptoms will want to make him tear the whole place apart. If they follow this method, they must be ready for some violent reactions from him. Withdrawing from drugs can be very hard.

I’m really sorry to hear about your brother’s situation. It sounds really tough. Have you looked into support groups or counseling services in Enugu? Sometimes local organizations or community health centers offer addiction support or can point you in the right direction. Rehabs can be hard to find, but reaching out to local NGOs or health professionals might help you find resources or at least some guidance. Also, engaging with a mental health professional might be a good step to get a tailored plan for your brother’s recovery.

Take I’m to rehabilitate him and tell them to you want him to do ( data in the rehabilitation ). It will cost you money oh if he goes and come back he will change 💯 %

anthonyuncle:
Get able bodied men to seize him, bind him totally, then take him to either of the two places below:

This should be done with caution as he will fight tooth and nail to prevent been held and tied by strangers and in the process the captors and the captive can sustain serious injuries or even worse if the captive hits his head on some hard object during the GUARANTEED struggle.

The case of late Super Eagles star Rashidi Yekini comes to mind as he died in a similar circumstance when his family organized to forcefully take him to a treatment center after he became mentally ill after losing his life savings to the robbery of a bureau de change he had invested in.

you don't cuddle drug addict.

No we should help him. If he's from Phoenix or nearby or even in United States, I would suggest Phoenix Sober Living. It's the best of best living that help drugs addict to get rid of it with quality life, motivation, and physical activities. We went to rehab for brother at Touch Stone and, afterward, stayed at Phoenix Sober Living (phoenixsoberliving.org). I believe this is a great path for anyone seeking recovery. So, contact them asap for quick recovery of your brother.

If he is a chosen,no issues at all
