How Do I Help Someone Addicted to Heroin Quit Without Checking Into a Drug Treatment Facility?
Question by nahimana34: How do I help someone addicted to heroin quit without checking into a drug treatment facility?
This person (the person they were) is my best friend and I don’t know what to do to help them. We can’t afford drug treatement facilities and I know the dangers of trying to quit “cold turkey”. Any suggestions from someone who has been through this could help me save my friends life. I am afraid of walking in and finding them cold on the floor. I can’t just leave them to die. Please Help!

i’m sorry to say but w/out rehab there is not much you can do….if it was me i would set them up to be arrested…i know that sounds sh*ty but if you can’t get them into rehab…once in jail they will get them into a program…do you have a methadone clinic in your ‘hood? they might be able to help
