My husband is in rehab… I had no clue.?

My husband was admitted to a rehab facility 60 miles away from me on Friday after walking to his unioon representative and telling them he had a problem. I had no idea but he had been taking xanax that was prescribed by a doctor since august, was taking them before that by getting them off the streets and has been on prescription pain killers (i knew that) for about a year but he runs out about 2 weeks early and gets them off the street. He has had an emtional relationship with another woman for the last 2 months through text messaging… all kinds of stuff is coming out now that he is there. I am going to an al-anon meeting locally on thursday but am having a really hard time finding support for people with family members who are abusing narcotic prescription drugs. Does anyone know of any online resources?? I live in Indiana…

we have a 2.5 year old and she asks me every night to send her daddy in there to tell her good night. THis is so hard… I am lost and dont know what to do. Our christmas tree is up in the attic so someone is supposed to be coming over to get it down but its going to be hard putting it up without him. Thats his favorite part… He will be gone for a month
i wish there were something someone could do…

A lot of times people have to hit rock bottom to snap them back to normal. Good for you for sticking by him!
I live in Indiana too but, I don’t know of any on line sources for drug rehab.
My blog might help you with marriage rehab though. http://www.back2gether.com

    Your child is too young to realize much about Christmas, so why not postpone it until he comes home? It would be a great reward for all his hard work in rehab!

    I’m so sorry!! My heart goes out to you so much! I wish I could do something to help. I will be praying for you! I went through a really hard time when my first son was a baby and I was pregnant with my second one. Is there anything I can do?

    My husband was admitted to a rehab facility 60 miles away from me on Friday after walking to his Union representative and telling them he had a problem. "I had no idea"

    He was taking them before that by getting them off the streets and has been on prescription pain killers (i knew that) for about a year but he runs out about 2 weeks early and gets them off the street.

    He hide things like being in rehab from you and gets illegal prescription pain off the streets and you want him back after he has been doing this for years? WOW!!!!! You need just as much help as he does!!!!!
