Heroin Help?

Question by Happy- Go: Heroin Help?
My nephew is doing heroin. How can I as an Aunt help him?
should I go to group sessions with him? I personally do not understand this drug. I know Its highly addictive. He is only 20 years old and my husband says its to late there is no help. I disagree. Please someone tell me how to help him. In my eyes he is a baby at 20 years old addicted to Heroin?

Yes, you could go to the sessions with him that would be helpful.Educate yourself about heroin. Being there for him means everything. Just listen and not criticize.

You’re right ! he is a baby. heroin is the top of the line of all time addiction drugs. other drugs cannot touch it. it is the cadillac of users.

if you are there fo r him it would mean so much , he needs to know that there is someone who has not given up on him. & even if he slips , he can get up & he needs to know that you know he is human, & you’ll forgive him,,& still be there, you dont have to say, ‘i’ll be there if you slip, ‘ just be there.

He definatly needs a support system & he needs someone to answer to. & something else, it’s really hard to kick, it takes one drug to get over another drug, like the lesser of 2 evils. theymay send him to a methadone clinic, or prescribe librium for or something of that nature, to help him w/th e after effects,

years ago, they did not have these meds, & know about what to do,. a patient just checked in an asylum & toughed itout.thank God, fo r places now & people like you,who have compassion.

God bless you, & I say a prayer for you, prayer will work & prayer will help him.
