Health › Re: Help! My Younger Brother Is Going Mad. by thinkmoney(m): 1:57pm On Sep 02, 2024

Nnamekus1:
My fellow nairalanders, I seriously need help with my younger brother. He has practically gone mad due to substance abuse. He takes weed like water and not only that, he also takes ice (mkpulu mmili).

We are tired of talking. Even our village vigilante had arrested him and beaten him in the past yet nothing changed.

He no longer behaves normal. He doesn't bath. He no longer does his mechanic work (which he was very good at). He now chases customers away.

Please does anyone know anything that can be done about it? I have thought of taking him to a rehabilitation centre but there is none that I know of. Meanwhile he's in Enugu in case anybody wants to make a suggestion.

I need recommendations please, aside prayers because we have been praying about it already.

Thank you all.

I have had a family go through this. Forgive serious thought to my advice.
Government rehab centers aren’t very effective. The reason is that I suspect supervision is poor and there is lackluster behavior from the attendants. Drugs too actually get inside the facilities from friends and relatives of the patients through compromised securities and members of staff.
Big private rehabilitation centre is the best but they are prohibitively expensive.
*I will suggest you find a room that is devoid of any structure that can harm someone like standing fans, bedsheets that can be improvised and used for hanging, mental spoons, bed stands, electric cords etc. there should either be a camera or peep hole through which one can monitor the patient, toilet facilities and good ventilation.
*You must also make access to a health practitioner (nurse or doctor) possible and quick. Because during withdrawal period, patient may become restless, start sweating profusely and even refuse food entirely. The nurse can give injection to calm him down or give intravenous fluids to serve as food and water. It’s very important to make sure injections for calming him down is giving as last resort and in a measured way so he doesn’t get addicted to it too.
*At every point in time, you must ensure he isn’t left with somebody that he can overpower easily. It’s a time you guys must eschew emotional sentiments. You are at war. We have heard cases were mothers are strangled or stabbed.
*you can also get to know the substance that he abusers and that calms him when he is violent and showing withdrawal symptoms. You can give him at those points but then you will in a smart way be reducing the quantity at every time or be mixing it with a harmless substance that resembles it to weaken it. The idea is to ween him off it gradually overtime.
*** it’s important however to know that this method of incarceration at home and even getting him substance may make you contravene the law. ITS VERY RISKY. So you will have to weigh your options and be very shrewd.
Do not leave him unkempt and unfed so you will not look entirely bad if you get involved with police over his matter.

MY POINT EVEN IS THAT, MODERN PRESIDENT GIVE LIVE SPEECHES AND IT MAKES THE AUDIENCE FEEL CONNECTED. It’s not several rehearsed and edited speech that takes days in making. Old Biden manges to do this.
Many now just build the speech off recorded keynotes on notes, cue cards or teleprompter

Every president reads from a prepared speech. Every single president. No president can deliver such a lengthy speech off hand. President Biden like every other US president reads from a teleprompter. Enough of all this nonsense take pls.

It’s a big lie. Big big lie
Obama spoke straight from heart most times. Biden have notes that records his points to remind him of what he wants to talk about but he speaks of heart to gathered press most time.
The problem with u people—THE REAL BIG PROBLEM- is that you do not know how modern world works or you can’t relate with it or you are afraid of it so u try to give us the type of president that suit your limitations

Without mincing words, Tinubu is the worst thing in recent years to happen to Nigeria. He has been bad for our economy, democracy, vital institutions,traditions, religions, image, prestige, security, nationhood and cohesion. He has brought to the fore the worst of our society. Now, dark minded bigots are at the helm of our affairs. Few people that will rather see the nation burn to preserve themselves.

So he planned for a sniper to shoot at him such that the bullet would miss his skull by a fraction of an inch? As much as I find the shooting shady, (no sharp shooter ever misses his target) there's no way he would want to take such risk to prove a point.
