There’s all kinds of addictions, but this one takes the cake …
This past June a Swedish man, Roger Tullgren, 42, was granted supplemental income benefits by the Swedish government’s employment service.
Tullgren was granted this income based on his illness of addiction to heavy-metal music. Maybe he should have held out for a structured settlement, although I’m not sure governments do those kinds of settlements.
Tullgren stated that he’d been addicted to the music for 10 years and finally succeeded in getting three psychologists to sign papers officially calling his condition a disability.
He’s now allowed to play music while he works as a dishwasher.
Unbelievable!
It seems that we keep hearing more and more often about people having problems with drugs, alcohol and even Pain Killer Addiction, don’t we? I don’t know if the problem is becoming worse, or if people are just being more open about the fact that they have a problem and the fact that they’ve gone to rehab to get help.
What do you think?
Certainly the stars seem to be more open about going to rehab these days!
If you, or someone that you know, has a problem with alcohol, drugs or appears to be addicted to pain killers you might want to visit the Sunset Malibu rehab facility.
The residential alcohol rehab and drug treatment center is located just outside of Los Angeles. The facility specializes in substance abuse treatments, alcohol detox, and pain killer treatment, as well as combination problems including eating disorders and depression.
Sunset Malibu is a well known treatment center where those in need of treatment for addiction problems can go and stay in a lovely private location.

In November, Britain’s Home Office announced that it agreed to a settlement to a lawsuit that had been created by 197 Heroin-addicted prisoners that it was “assault” and violation of European Convention on Human Rights for them to have been denied drugs almost immediately after they were arrested. The government has agreed to pay each of the prisoners the equivalent of about $7000.
