My Friend Is on Heroin…?
Question by Music Guru: My Friend is on Heroin…?
I recently found out that my very good friend is smoking heroin, I am not sure for how long, but at least 4 months. I’m worried about him, he wants to stop, but it’s not like he can just go to rehab. From what I have read, quitting can make you violent, or seriously ill. He’s been depressed before, and I do not want him to go back there again. I know I shouldn’t try to do anything drastic for him, but are there any small things I can do to help him?

Tell him it’s his own damn fault for doing heroin.
He CAN just go to rehab. You’d rather he was seriously ill than dead, right?

Since he is just smoking it for a few months, his detox shouldn’t be too bad.
He could contact Narcotics Anonymous for support and ideas.
A general medical doctor could prescribe a detox regime of meds to help him control withdrawl symptoms.
Offer to go to NA meeting with him and encourage him to get help now before he gets worse.
Most people I see detoxing from opiates ( in hospital) sweat alot and run a slight fever for a few days. Many have body aches or headache. They tend to sleep alot. The worst of it is over an 24-72 hours. Ultram or Librium will stop most of the symptoms.
Good Luck.
