Written on July 29, 2009 – 3:25 pm | by Drug Abuse Help
he sees several (I do not know exactly how many) doctors and gets different prescriptions from each of them, they are a mixture of sleeping pills, anti depression pills, muscle relaxers, pain killers, moriphine, and probaly a whole lot more than I know of. He mixes these pills with whiskey. He also does not take the dosage the doctor gave him, but 2-3 doses at a time, and 2-3 doses later that day and so on. He can’t remember where he is, what he is doing, he mumbles weird stuff, and it is getting very hard to continue living in this arrangement. ( He lives with me and my husband and our child due to a financial hardship, my mom and brother also live with us) My question is .. who do I contact to maybe get him some professional help… we live in AZ. He is 62ish, and I am afraid that he will one day OD.
Yes my mom has seen it, but unfortunately she is afraid of him, because he can sometimes become violent, not like physically but with his words. I did forget to mention that on July 3 I have an appointment with his doctor, and I intend to address these issues with him, but I guess I worded my question wrong, (since it is so late at night).. can I have him put somewhere that will monitor his medicine intake? I can guarantee he will not go willingly.
