This is for my brother, who lives there. We haven't gotten together in quite a while, and I'm surprised to just suddenly hear of the news that he has gotten himself addicted to alcohol. I never really thought this would happen to him, as he was always the one who shied away from doing anything remotely bad. Yet, ever since his girlfriend left him (and brought along their baby), he has been really depressed and that's when his addiction to alcohol started. I really want to help him, and finding an alcohol rehab for him is the only thing I can think of to lighten his burdens.

Regarding alcohol rehabs, you can easily find one just by using google. I already did some research for you, so just check out the links below. Those contain lists of the alcohol rehabs in the area you have specified. But this isn't all you can do for your brother. Call him, have long talks with him. Email him inspirational things that he can draw strength from. Being there for him (even if not being in close proximity to him) would really make a difference. Remember that your support and understanding counts.

It takes incredible strength to complete an Ironman event, but it takes even more will to do it...while working through [a history of drug and ...

Please get rid of your political affiliations for that question and try to be objective.

I saw the interview of Obama by O'reilly. It was seriously disgusting. He wouldn't let Obama answer, kept attacking him, and he would cut him off every time he was trying to make a point. Ok, let's say he was "excited" to make his point in front of the president-elect.

Now, go back to 2000. I'm just guessing, I don't have the facts ... but did O'reilly invite Bush, as president-elect, and attacked him on his drug-alcohol addiction? Was he cutting him off every time Bush opened his mouth? Did he mention to him how unsuccessful he was when he was in charge of oil companies?

I believe we all know the answer to that.

My point is ... as a honest person, either you're republican or democrat ... How can you even say that O'reilly is a straight guy, giving us the truth at all times?

I originally come from a country with more freedom of speech and in which it is almost illegal to present "NEWS" if the host clearly shows his political preferences.

Isn't truth and fairness universal, no matter who you vote for? The same thing could be said about MSNBC. Why can't people realize it is propaganda??
By the way, I watched CNN, BBC and the French news channel. But, as an American, I need all the information possible to make any type of decisions, so I force myself to watch Fox News and MSNBC. The 2 channels are horrible!!
Sure, he gives it straight ... like two days ago when he wanted to show his conservative audience how liberal saw the world by presenting the city of San Francisco and its inhabitants ... all he showed is how gay they are there, how some of them smoke weed in the streets, ... is that all that can be said about San Francisco? Is weed and gayness really what liberals want to promote? Give me a break with him being fair.

I am not an O'Reilly fan in the least. I have always found him to be a blowhard who considers himself to be not only the smartest person in the room, but rather the smartest person in the world. The behavior you describe is very commonplace for O'Reilly he does it on his radio show also. He cuts off anyone who doesn't agree with him then spends exorbitant amounts of time explaining why he is right and they are wrong without ever allowing them to actually make their case in the first place.

Now having said that, I must also say this. It is incorrect for people to link opinion based programming to news content because they are different beasts. This is my biggest complaint about people who complain about Fox News. They claim Fox News is biased but never actually cite news based content. Instead they talk about O'reilly, Hannity, etc. and then link them as though they were the anchors of the true news content presented on the network. This is at best a false comparison.

I have to know how I'm going to find addiction treatment centers in Canoga Park, California. That's where my father lives. I had just recently gotten hold of the news that he has turned to alcohol again. This hurts me so, I really did not foresee that this would happen. He was always the one telling us that we shouldn't drink alcoholic beverages because we might get addicted, but now it's him that has done it. I want to get him treated immediately. Please help.

There are lots of addiction treatment centers out there and you can use the links that I have provided below to help you find them. You can also ask your dad to get himself checked up by a doctor and to follow the doctor's recommendations. Looking through the yellow pages might help too. It's always tough in times like these, specially since it's your dad that's afflicted with the addiction. It's really good of you to still be there for him, and that you're helping him even from far away. I hope he gets himself treated soon. I'll keep your family in my prayers. Good luck.

Good news for the sellers to work underground?
youth exchanging their body (romantically/sexually)for their lust/addiction,if affordability become an issue?
Or u think these measures can bring about a low rating in alcohol & cigarettes in take?

You're reading way too much into it. Exchanging their body? Come on, give me a break. Fake IDs and such are only too easy to obtain, and you'd be surprised how many parents are ok with their children drinking/smoking, even going as far as buying alcohol and cigarettes for their children.

Everyone says Paris Hilton is bad news, but we have not heard on story about her having a drug problem. How has she steered clear of drugs and alcohol addiction, while Nicole Richey, Lindsey Lohan, and Britney have become addicted?

HELLO, she HASN'T! Just because we don't hear about it in the news doesn't mean it hasn't happened!! Only her family has the money to hide it, and make a stint in rehab look like a vacation.
