Do Doctors Prescribe Drugs That Mitigate The Withdrawal Symptoms?
My son is withdrawing from methamphetamine. I learned from the interenet that are at least three drugs that help with withrdrawal syptoms and which reduce the risk of drug relapse. He has not medical insurance so I would like to know if medical doctors will prescribe drugs that mitgate the withdrawal syptoms.
