Seroquel

A common anti-psychotic. One of the many “keep you quiet” drugs frequently prescribed to both the mentally ill and patients who are in drug and alcohol treatment facilities (rehab).

From the seroquel.com website: “Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are two different mental disorders that affect millions of people in the United States. Seroquel
is a psychotropic medication shown to be effective in the treatment of many symptoms of schizophrenia, as well as in the treatment of acute mania associated with bipolar I disorder.”
“Rocco used to be really hyper and twitchy, but now that the Doc’s got him on Seroquel, he’s real mellow and much more fun to hang with.”

"According to any of the patients I've talked to in the rehab unit, Seroquel makes the withdrawl symptoms much less harsh than the old days of the Methadone clinics."

Clean up

To go through rehab in order to stop a drug or alcohol addiction. See also dry out, gone straight.
Nah, I don’t want any of that. I’ve done the clean up and the dry out, gone straight, and now I’ve got my whole life ahead of me. I’m strong, and I don’t need that shit no more.

french fries

Street slang for the perscription mood-elevator, Xanax (Alprazolam). Alprazolam is indicated for the management of anxiety disorder. While the drug is available in .25, .5, 1 and 2 mg doses, it's the 2 mg doses that earned this controlled substance the street name, "French Fries."
The 2 mg tablets are white with three slices (3 scores) in the side, and the number "2" on one side and "Xanax" on the other side. These score-marks give the tablets a resemblance to crinkle-cut french fries, and allow the tablets to be broken into 4 equal parts of 0.5 mg.
You lookin' tense, bro'. You need a couple'a french fries... help chill yo' ass out.

frequent flier

1) Commonly, someone who is a repeat user of a product or service, regardless of the nature of the business.

2) In healthcare, someone who is frequently showing up for similar injuries or disorders. Often, this is applied specifically in the world of drug and alcohol rehabilitation (rehab) to somebody who has tried to get sober (clean up or dry out) but has had frequent relapses. According to current statistics, the majority of addicts (80%) are likely to relapse after the first try.
1)“You watch the register, I’ll take care of Mr. Jones. Don’t worry, I’ve already got his order. It’s the same thing every day. He’s one of our frequent fliers.”

2)“Looks like we’ve got Sandy back again. Room 5. Yup, heroin again. We’ve got her on some Seroquel and an Ativan drip, so at least she’s calm this time. She’s another one of our frequent fliers.”

Lima Lima Matt Foxtrot

Originally military speak, translating directly as “LLMF,” this became an acronym for “Little Lost Mother F**ker.” It was later adopted by the tech world to refer to somebody (usually non-technical) who is in way over their head.
“We tried showing the boss how to use the new database, but he couldn’t even follow instructions well enough to get through the first two screens. After that, it was just Lima Lima Matt Foxtrot the whole way.”
