psychiatrists, or addiction specialists
Answer by Hasna Belle
Depending on the severity of the addiction, the person would see a therapist or a councilor for therapy, and would probably see a medical doctor, or a psychiatrist, for prescription drugs (yes, drugs to stop taking drugs) in order to break the addictions. If it’s a very serious situation, they might be admitted into the hospital, or a rehabilitation center for a period of time, in order to undergo intense treatment and observation.
There are no special “names” for doctors who deal with addictions, only psychiatrists who sometimes specialize in addictions.

Why doesn’t nicotine (which is a drug) treated the same as other drug addictions. Like treatment centers paid
Question by breeze1: Why doesn’t nicotine (which is a drug) treated the same as other drug addictions. Like treatment centers paid
for by insurance and medicare. People who are drug tested positive for illegal drugs are often offered treatment as an option to losing their jobs. in fact drug addiction is listed as a disease, it’s not just a bad habit, . Since nicotine is an addictive drug, users are drug addicts and therefor sick people, so why do we punish them and not offer medical help.I guess it’s because insurance and government do what they want and ignore their irrationality.
i’m not suggestion putting smokers in prison, I’m saying you can be an alcholic or drug addict and go to a treatment center for inpatient treatment usually 28 days and its covered by insurance, but with nicotine which is as hard to stop as herion, you are supposed to stop on your on with no help but a patch. That is discriminatory. It is either a disease or it’s not.
The government wants me to stop smoking so they are taxing cigarettes more and more and forcing my employer to make the work place tobacco free so, yea, they should pay for treatment.

Since the U.S “War on Drugs” was a failure, why not revamp it to work?
Question by kewlprez: Since the U.S “War on Drugs” was a failure, why not revamp it to work?
The Associated Press article that I read today quoted ONE TRILLION DOLLARS spent on the so called “War on Drugs”. Even drug czar Gil Kerlikowske concedes that none of the goals have been met. I say “Throw them bums out, and bring in a plan and people who will work”.

What? And put prisons out of business. Come on correctional officers are human and have families to feed too.
Answer by duttonsnake
I hate to be brutally honest, but the reason its failing/failed is because we are too light on it. The sentence for possession/distribution/selling/usage should have a much greater punishment bracket to go with it. I gurantee that if you ignored the stupid bleeding hearts idiots and cracked down severely then it would drop off dramaticly. The fact is we live in a country where we make up excuses for people who abuse and sell drugs.
