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.

If any member in your family is addicted, then seeking professional help from addiction rehabilitation centre is what you should do. Rehab centre is can help the addicted get out of his compulsive behavior and lead a normal life just like others. There are now a lot of rehab centers whose recovery programs can adapt the specific needs of an addict. A center of high quality can assure better results as it will help an addict form a resolution to change. n addict may be compared to a chemical that is amorphous and shapeless and then molded by the rehab center into a structured, crystalline form. This mutation is brought about by the following steps.

Self Belief in Change: An addict is convinced that he is not one for life; he can change; he has that power and ability in himself only if he will try through their assistance.

Treatment: Only detox and withdrawal handling support with nutritious diet is compulsory. The rest is up to the patient himself who has to pursue the commitment he made to change. Counselors guide and support him all the way.

Inspirational: Counselors inspire and motivate the patient to make positive goals, change ways of thoughts and pursue his goals for success.

Abstinence is not a must but is desirable. Self control is more important. A modern enlightened addiction treatment center realizes that one cannot stop overnight and controlled decrease is a better route to success.

Vital life skills are very important. Any effective and concerned addiction rehab center will concentrate on this vital aspect of the treatment since it is only in the outside world that a reformed patient will face pressures and triggers that lead to a relapse.

Through a solid grounding in life skills which means better self control and maintaining a calm approach he can handle situations without being affected. The effects and results of such skills are lasting.

At the core of the treatment is the patient himself and his resolve. Concerned and caring addiction rehabs will always take this as the starting point in a rehab and work on it.
