Friend in Danger of Drug Relapse. Any Suggestions?

Question by zoelynn: Friend in danger of drug relapse. Any suggestions?
[rewrite]A good friend of mine who has had a problem with heroine and other drugs in the past is in danger of relapse. I would really like to help him. I figured out he has been stealing pain pills from me (for a broken foot) and when I confronted him he asked me for help. He really has no money for a counsler and all I know to do is go to NA (Narcotics Annonomous) meetings with him for support. He says the meetings never really helped him before because people sit around and talk about doing dope. Is there any other alternative? In the DFW area of Texas?

If he’s young enough…. Get him to sign up with the US Marine Corps. It got me off drugs.

Well, do his parents know? Do they support him at all? Because if they do, they could help pay to help him. If his parents don’t know and he’s scared of telling them, he should get past that. His life is much more important. If he doesn’t tell his parents (or even another loved one that can help him), then you tell them. He may be mad at you for doing so, but in the end he will thank you. You say he’s a good friend….well, do you have money to help him out?

A friend of mine overdosed on drugs, and he missed a whole semester of school. You need to get your friend help ASAP. Call a doctor, a toll free hotline…anything to get information. Someone can help put you in the right direction.

Good luck.
