Why do drug addicts like the curtains shut?

There are many reasons this may be the case. It depends on what kind of drug the person is doing, though obviously a good reason for any drug would be so that people outside don't see you doing illegal drugs. People who smoke marijuana may do it because of the paranoia that sometimes results from getting high, or simply because they want a relaxing environment in which to enjoy the high. Those who use hallucinogens may want the curtains shut because a relaxed environment is often recommended to avoid the possibility of a "bad trip."

Is suboxone a good thing to use temporary to relieve withdrawal symptoms from opiates such as vicodin and percocet?

Yes, Suboxone (buprenorphine) has been successfully used as a detoxification protocol to wean patients from opiate usage while minimizing withdrawal symptoms. Its molecules have a similar affinity for the same receptors as opiates but cause a less strong addictive potential, thus blocking the opiates and down-regulating the receptors for withdrawal. It may be used alone, or in combination with benzodiazepines (as Ativan, Xanax) or clonidine.

Im 13 and im very scared that i wont grow any taller cause i do masterbution?

no sweetheart, it DOESN'T stunt your growth. whoever told you that, was either wrong, or a jerk. but it WILL make your palms hairy (no it won't, I'm teasing you) if you practice making it last longer before "finishing", it will make you "bigger" (just like any other muscle), and you'll feel more satisfied afterwards. almost all young men do it (even tho they won't admit it), and "feeling guilty" does FAR MORE damage than having a healthy sex drive EVER could. good luck dear :)

If a baby is born with signs that the mother did not take care of herself during pregnancy such as drug abuse will the doctors call the department of social services?

If you know of anyone who is abusing a child, YOU should be calling someone yourself. Doctors are, in most cases, obliged to report instances of child abuse. If the child has symptoms of illness caused by the mother, I have to question her ability to put her child's interests above her own. It is quite likely that, without any intervention, something may happen to this child. It is the moral responsibility of everyone who is aware of the situation to do their part to save that child from harm. At the very least, you should make an anonymous call to get help before something more serious happens. How will you feel if that child suffers some serious harm that you may have been able to prevent? Then it won't just be the mother who harmed the child, but those who allowed it to happen. Don't let it happen. Do something now before it's too late. Every state has laws that set guidelines for defining abuse and/or neglect of children. A case of an infant born with signs of fetal alchohol or chemical addiction syndrome is referred to the state agency that handles such issues. In small communities it might be the local police who will take the initial report and send it to the state agency. Other cases will be handled by DFS or similar departments of health and welfare. An investigation is done which will include evidence and testimony from the attending medical staff, perhaps relatives or aquaintances and of course the mother. The results of such an investigation obviously depend upon the evaluation of the agency of jurisdiction. Medical personnel are required by law, to report all suspected cases. Medical Professionals are required by law to report signs of abuse.
