Are you dating Rush Limbaugh?

I have only ever heard of in-patient treatment being effective for heroin or OC withdrawal, which can kill you.

 

There are several programs in my area for heroin treatment. I'm a recovering addict, but in all my drug days I only did heroin once because I felt how addictive it was and knew it would kill me.

 

Among the many addicts I know, I've never known a heroin addict who could stay sober longer than a few years. Maybe this is why they recommend in patient treatment?

 

Anyways, make sure the doc has experience treating addicts, or your BF could end up in even worse shape than he already is, having transferred his addiction.

blind otter - good advice

 

my bf had a similar view toyours initially about smack, he knows he is an addictive person, who does nothing by halves, ad that he could form an addiction. But thats part of the beauty/uglyiness of the drug it tempts you in further and further until you are using everyday.

 

Woggle, not sure what you are asking, but my bf is not rush? (if rush limbaugh is a person) thanks for a response all the same

 

cheers ;-)

Good, hope it helps. Also I heard from my friend's mom (who manages one of those treatment facilities in my area) that in her experience, the longer the inpatient program, the more likely the patient can stay clean, but there are no guarantees. Ultimately it's about changing your whole lifestyle and methods of coping.

ask his doctor about seboxone. It is a drug that takes away the cravings for the opiads. Coupled with counciling he could be free of his addiction.
