If you have had personal experience in helping a friend out with a heroin addiction, please share your input.
So a friend is already shooting up everyday for the last 2 months ago, scoring about $40 worth usually, and has already been treated for 2 abceses in his arm since he started a little less than a year ago.
This friend has known SWIM since early highschool, and know eachother relatively well. The thing is, he recognizes his addiction, has already had many of his friends talk with him; but he's not taking into account the repercussions of shooting up for too long. He's had a lot of support, before he started, he was into ills hardcore; most often opiates. So he's already piled 2 or 3 years of pill addiction before he started smoking and shooting. SWIM thinks he mostly scores tar.
Anyways, if anybody's been in a similar sitiuation, please give advice and perspective on this scenario.
How does one go about this situation?
What must one take into account?
Should one not expect to be successful?
Would medical marijuana help someone with a heroin addiction? Kratom?
Thank you for taking the time to read and answer this.
