Where can someone who is addicted to prescription narcotics due to breast cancer get help


Where can someone who is addicted to prescription narcotics due to breast cancer get help?
WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING BREAST CANCER FOR 3 YEARS. AFTER A MASTECTOMY ,CHEMOTHERAPY,RADIATION THERAPY,A CRANIOTOMY AND MORE RADIATION THERAPY SHE IS IN REMISSION. NOW SHE CAN'T GET BACK ON HER FEET DUE TO THE PRESCRIPTION NARCOTICS. DOCTORS AT 2 DIFFERENT HOSPITALS WOULD NOT TAKE HER INTO THEIR PSYCH WARD EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS LOST OVER 40 LBS. IN 2 MONTHS. SHE REFUSES TO EAT BECAUSE SHE HAS NO APPETITE. MY INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER REHABS. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Try contacting your local AA or NA center. I know your circumstances are different but I am quite sure someone there can help. Also try a cancer support group. I am sure someone there will also be able to help. If i can be of any help to you locating such places please e-mail me. Best wishes and you family are in my prayers.

Maybe you can call her doctor (the one that wrote the presciptions) and tell him whats going on. My friends dad is riddled with cancer and unforitionally hes not going to beat the cancer, but at any rate they had to change his medications around for pain because he was going threw symptoms like this, I cant tell you what he was on or what he was switched to, but hes in cronic pain all the time and he has to be on pain medication, they just tinkered with his medication untill they found a combonation that worked for him so he could live the best life possible while hes here :) *HUGS*
