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?

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.

Outpatient Addiction Treatment Florida offers a variety of treatment options to get an individual on the road to recovery. It is difficult to distinguish the proper therapy for an individual without a proper prognosis. The sufferer must undergo an evaluation with a medical professional in order to choose the proper course of therapy.

There are a multitude of facilities that help individuals deal with the emotional, physical, and financial strain of alcoholism. The right program for the individual will depend on many factors, such as the severity of the condition and the living status of the individual. By taking these factors into account, along with a physician’s recommendations, it can help to steer the individual toward the road to recovery.

Outpatient treatments are for those whose conditions are not as severe. These individuals exhibit symptoms of minor alcoholism but they are able to be aided by medications and/or counseling efforts. Once one completes an inpatient program, this is normally his or her next step.

Inpatient treatments work best for those who have a chronic reliance on drinking and that cannot quit without proper guidance. This individual will need constant supervision, especially in the beginning of treatments, as they can experience a host of withdrawal symptoms. A continual support system is often needed for this type of alcoholic.

Societies that come together in the name of providing these types of services to recovering addicts are known as therapeutic communities. These teach the importance of continued sobriety and help bring the member back into productive society. This support base is something that many recovering addicts need in order to be successful in their road to sobriety.

The most effective course of treatment is first consulting with a physician. This helps determine the degree to which he or she is dependent on drinking. There are warning signs that dictate the extent of one’s addiction, like withdrawing from friends and family that should be watched for. The multitude of options available should be strong enough to aid one in his or her recovery process.
