About Brian Greene Expertise I can help with information about treatment options, as far as residential and outpatient treatments programs, the types of programs available, differernt modalities and approaches. I am familiar with requirements of treatment programs, and can help with what to look for when choosing one, what is and is not legal, etc. I can also help with information on various drugs, how addiction effects the family. I would especially like to help family members and employers in understanding the disease of addiction and becoming familiar with what they can do to help without enabling an addict
Experience I have worked in treatment programs for several years, from being a counselor to being a program director. I have extensive experience in researching federal and state requirements for treatment programs.

Answer Ron,
I can totally understand where you're coming from. What I think you need to do is see a doctor and let them know what's been going on. How you feel with and without the Adderall, the depression, all of it. I think there might be a little more to this than just drug addiction. It certainly isn't the end of the world, and can hopefully be a great new beginning. But I think your first step is to see a doc and be honest. Your local county health department should have soem great services as well. Contact their alcohol and drug abuse division and ask about an assessment for co-occurring disorders.
Other than that, there's a place called the Amen Clinic, which is really changing the way psychiatric treatment is provided. They use Spect scans to look at the brain, and work on treatment options from there. It's really quite incredible, and should start from about $3,000. A bit pricey, perhaps, but well worth it in my opinion.
Ron, I urge you to seek help from the professionals. Although at some point you will need treatment for the addiction, the first step is to find out what's going on and trying to get you to function a little better without the Adderall.
