Hub’s Cousin
Hubby has a cousin who died of drug abuse more than 20 years ago. He was the only son in the family, and being a typical traditional Chinese, his mother adored him more than other siblings. He got on drug due to peer pressure, and when his parents found out about it, they kept quiet and protected their son, instead of sending him off to rehab. They are not very well educated, and didn’t want to take the advice from other relatives.
Furthermore, the condition of the rehab centers during that time was not well equipped, thus they did the wrong decision of not sending their son for treatment. If they have known of rapid detox center, maybe they would make the right decision. Rapid detox compresses 8 days of quitting process into a few hours, thus the withdrawal is claimed to be minimal. This procedure is done by an anesthesiologist doctor with 20 years of experience, so maybe it’s worth a shot.
Until today, this auntie still has tears in her eyes when she speaks of her son. He died before he turned 20.
