    Hello,
    My husband recently became addicted to meth after being addicted to pain killers for seven years. He has started to lose himself and his mind. We have a ten month old son who will no longer see him until he is clean. I want to have my husband arrested so that he will detox in jail for at least several days. If I can charge him with something will he be released if I drop the charges? He has a prior record of a dui twice, drunk in public, misdemeanor of marijuana and juvenile gun posession charge. Also, will the charge stay on his record? Please help me, my son needs his father back..

    I suggest you learn about addictions, especially a meth addiction.
    You can search for such information and then read about it to understand that addicts rarely recover until they've hit rock bottom and want to change.

    Meth addicts are among the least likely to be rehabilitated, because the drug is extremely addictive.

    It's very unlikely that the man you love, who fathered your child is going to recover with a few days in jail.
    You're going to have to come to grips with other options, especially protecting your baby. You might HAVE to leave him to in order to protect your child!!!

    You can't charge him with anything.
    You can report him to the police when he is in possession of his dope.
    You need to discuss this with your mm, dad, sister, brother, a trusted relative, a very good friend, because he will end up destroying you, his child, his family, along with himself.
    God bless you and that precious baby.
    This is NOT your fault.
    This is the result of his selfish, foolish, destructive choice to become a meth addict!!!!!

    I am a recovering alcoholic sober now near 30 years. I was jailed numerous times and still drank. Jail i snot your solution! I suggest you start attending Naranon meetings. There you can find other family members of addicted persons whom you can share with and find solutions for yourself (not addicted person) so you can move forward. If children are involved I suggest you leave with children or risk losing them
