Looking for Help for My Drug Addict?

Question by dkcasad: Looking for Help for my Drug Addict?
I have a son who has struggled with drug addiction, choice of drug is/was oxycontin. He is now in jail after some very poor choices and will be spending time in prison. He is 24. I am in Indiana and am looking for an organization that might be able to help me at his sentencing with information on these evil prescription drugs and what they are doing to our children. My son did not commit the crime, my drugged out son did. He once was a star basketball player and a 3.0 student. Please only serious inquires that want to help or have information that can connect me with the right people.
correction- I meant serious responses not serious inquires, typo.

Get him a good lawyer if you have not done so already.

I cannot give one best source of information for you but I can suggest some places to try.

As far as I know, Greenwood, IN has the only recovery court in Indiana but other counties have drug courts.

Have you tried going to Nar-Anon or Al-Anon meetings, for family members of persons with addictions? If not, they can help you learn to cope with you situation. Narcotics Anonymous may be able to help your son stay clean when he gets out of jail.

Fairbanks Hospital in Indianapolis has literature and DVDs on addiction available in their gift shop/bookstore.

The Indiana University School of Medicine has an addictions program in their psychiatry department.
