I'm an h users mom...he's just turning 21 tomarrow and I pray I'll have him until he's 22...he's been usin 5 yrs now...I know I can't help him until he's ready for help, but whats the best way off? What seems to help, what other drug works and where do I get it? I know he'll either be dead, in jail (again) or light himself on fire from a smoke not put out will he's nodding out on his favorite high...Were in Illinois...unfortunatly no insurance...
wishing for a crystal ball....
Crystal Welcome,
The mere fact that you are here asking questions and seeking answers gives him that much more hope but it is all up to him. Any way an addict gets clean is the best way...there are ways to get off and it all starts with a choice...to live or to give(in). Their is cold turkey(the monster of them all), theirs Suboxone, methadone. None of these things will work until he surrenders. Below are some places with a sliding fee scale andClick Here and search within your direct city/local area for (possibly)free treatment....good luck to you both!
