There isn’t any. Unfortunately. Some try using other drugs, but then they need those as much as they liked the other ones. It really doesn’t make them better.And drugs are everywhere. They show up even when the abuser isn’t looking for them. One moment of “What’s one time going to hurt?” Puts them right back to square one. Even a legitimate trip to a doctors office can start the spiral down with a legal prescription. It sucks.
