[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 643315, member: 59"] Origami we all have to do what we each feel comfortable with. We did force our daughter into rehab because I just couldn't have her in the house anymore with her addiction. It was either rehab or out on the street. I'm not saying that's the right thing to do for everyone, but I do know that many/most people do not go into rehab willingly. They are forced either by family or employer or court. Heroin is such a dificult drug to quit, worse than all others. The addict needs a lot of help and for a sustained period of time through many relapses. Our state and in particular our county, has a heroin death epidemic. So so many young people dying every week. We have had heroin summits with law enforcement/medical people trying to find solutions. Our EMS now carry naloxone to give to suspected heroin overdoses and many lives have been saved. It is also made available to family members free of charge to keep on hand. We have a neighbor whose son is my difficult child's age and actually is the one who first got her into pot. He moved on to other drugs and finally heroin and has been in and out of jail many times and into court ordered rehab and residential treatment. Our drug court here is very assertive in trying to get help for addicts. I am so sorry for your family, this is a terrible addiction that often has a tragic ending. I hope and pray your son gets help. P.S. By coincidence this article was just in our newspaper: [url]http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2014/12/northeast_ohios_heroin_epidemi.html#incart_m-rpt-1[/url] [/QUOTE]
