Question by Alex: What would you do? Advice please.?
My sister is making me go to meetings with a priest and psychologist because she found out I’m a little bi-curious. I read that it’s a little normal got teenage guys to be curious during adolescence, but she has these conservative ideas. I’m anxious and don’t know what to expect at any of the places. I know I’ll have to go because she always has her way. Then I have to go to the “Pornography Addiction Support Group” meetings. Apparently watching it a few times makes you an addict. Does anyone know how these meetings work? They’re supposedly all adult and I’m 16, I’m pretty embarrassed. =/

Geesh, you poor thing! Try to get out of it. If you can’t, just play along when you’re around the “conservatives” and then do your own thing when you’re on your own. You’ve only got a couple of years till your 18. Get a calendar and mark off the days!

Question by : In Oregon heard of Serenity Lane drug&alcohol rehab issueing scholarship/grant for outpatient financial aid?
My husbands insurance did not pay like they said. Now we owe another 1500.00. I heard Serenity Lane has a scholarship program but they only sent us finance papers for payments when I requested an application for aide. I am thinking its a word of mouth rumor with no actual facts.
Does anybody know of such aide actually being granted?
We trusted SL when they told us what our insurance would cover, but then the insurance said that “SL Outpatient Program” falls under “Inpatient” according to their underwriting. So now there is a huge deductible to be paid by us. I read the entire insurance policy handbook and no where is anything stated about “Outpatient Group” falling under “Inpatient” but that’s what they’re saying and SL admits it shouldn’t go this way however, they want money. Husband has been on work restrictions since 6wk after starting rehab because of disability issue and only gets 4hr of work daily. With MAJOR medical bills every month we submitted application to SL Billing Office but it was denied with statement saying we didn’t offer a payment plan! Well, dickens. I called and ask for scholarship/grant application not payment plan paperwork. We aren’t going to be able to squeeze for much longer. We are quickly getting behind. Any info on appealing insurance or getting SL to discount bill would help me. I am out of options and research ideas.

Question by : I got ticketed for “Disorderly Conduct”, what can I do? I don’t want a criminal record, please help?
1 month ago, I was at a house party with some friends and I had a lot to drink, we were pretty loud and were at some point outside. Well it appears that somebody called the police and when they came I was pretty wasted and when the police officers started asking what was going on and asking us questions, I allegedly became loud and rowdy, and I didn’t stop drinking or smoking my cigarette after they told me to. Now I was in the property of my friend’s house at the time and had not really broken any laws, and I’m way over 21, so at the time I didn’t see why they should tell me to stop drinking or smoking so I kept doing it and allegedly insulted them. Well they were upset and cuffed me, I freaked out and begged him not to arrest me and apologized, then my friend promised the cops I wouldn’t cause any more trouble and that she would take me home. Well they uncuffed me but gave me a ticket for “Public Disorderly Conduct”. I thought I had dodged a bullet and this was just a minor citation. Well it’s not.

Question by defenseonly: Are rehabs “locked down” so that residents cant escape or is it just easy to casually walk out?
For the record, I know somebody who did yes, once again they suffer, probably overdose, It is expected we are prepared, but it is hard, and we want to give up, all hope is gone, he leaves for 7 days stays in these nasty hotels, I really just dont want to listen to it any more, he doesnt want to live, if any of you know about addiction you will understand why I have to make the decision to turn my back. Yes he had intervention, jail, bootcamps, TRV’s etc…

It depends on the facility, you’d have to ask the clinic.
