Meth at Morning, Heroin at Night: A Seesaw Struggle of Dual Drug Addiction
By April Dembosky, KQED
In the 25 years since she snorted her first line of
meth at a club in
San Francisco, Kim has redefined "normal" so many times. At first, she said, it seemed like meth brought her back to her true self — the person she was before her parents divorced, and before her stepfather moved in.
"I felt normal when I first did it, like, 'Oh! There I am,'" she said.
Kim is 47 now, and she has been chasing normal her entire adult life. That chase has brought her to some dark places, so she asked us not to use her last name. For a long time, meth, also known as speed, was Kim's drug of choice.

About 10 percent of people who ingest cannabis, the most commonly used illicit substance in the world, suffer cravings and withdrawals when they try to stop their habit.

'Secret Shopper' Study Finds Many Who Need Addiction Treatment Can't Get It
June 4, 2019, at 12:00 p.m.
By Serena Gordon
HealthDay Reporter
(HealthDay)
TUESDAY, June 4, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- When people who are addicted to opioids make the difficult decision to quit, the last thing they need to face are barriers to treatment.
Yet, a new "secret shopper" study suggests most addicts seeking a prescription for buprenorphine -- which helps people stop using opioids -- would have trouble even getting an appointment with a doctor qualified to dispense the drug.

Medication Options for Treating ADHD
Treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder often requires behavioral therapy and medication.
Medication Options for Treating ADHD
It’s natural for children to not always give their full attention to a task, family member or peer in the moment, or for them to be impulsive sometimes. Depending on a child’s age and stage of development, this may just be par for the course.
But for kids with
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a high level of inattention, impulsivity or hyperactivity can be not only developmentally inappropriate but severe and disruptive. For children, adolescents and adults with ADHD, left untreated, it can get in the way of normal daily function and seriously undermine quality of life. Research shows children with ADHD frequently struggle academically and in other ways, such as with relationships and even difficulty participating in extracurricular activities, and adults with the disorder are similarly more likely to struggle at home and professionally and face a higher rate of unemployment.
