Question:
I have a friend that shoots up all sorts of crap, and he wants to quit, but is terrified of the withdrawls. I know they can be bad, but I don't want him to do the methadone route because too often the addicts then just use that too, while using the drug they are trying to get off the original drug? It seems like there is just no way to get them off it, except to never have started which is too late now!
Answers:
Opiates have the worst with drawls. They are also the most addictive. Addiction to any kind of Opiate is cheesy because they are the worst kind of drugs. Your friend needs to go cold turkey. He is looking at possession charges someday, and will be forced by the system to quit. Why not stop while not in trouble with the law.
Methadone has a worse comedown and is more addictive "Jimbo".
First off your friend needs to get into rehab. which is only the first part of his problem. He needs to find a support group that can help him as well as educate him. Methadone isn't the answer but its a start. Have him get into a follow up group, which may or may not help. He's just got to be ready, all the pushing in the world is worthless unless he is. GOOD LUCK
