There are many drug addiction treatment programs available to him.

If your friend REALLY wants to get off the pain pills he/she should do it in a medically supervised situation.

Schick Shadel Hospital in the Seattle area is a good one.

The Betty Ford Center in Palm Springs, CA is also a good one.

There are many programs all over the country.
