[QUOTE="MomOntheEdge, post: 647958, member: 18763"] I can speak only from my brother being a heroin addict (8 years clean now), and meeting lots of other struggling addicts in the MANY rehab places and open meetings I attended with and without my brother, that unfortunately JAIL is the best rehab there is. Nothing got any of the addicts (HEROIN only) I know clean - only lock up did. The withdrawal and physical addiction is so severe they have to literally be locked up to avoid it until it leaves their mind and body. My brother finally got clean after spending 3 months in jail, and it was my mother who finally made the call to get him there.... Today my brother and my mom are the closest mother and son I've ever seen. He loves her for saving his life and never lets her forget it. This drug is a KILLER. I pray for every mother going through this, as well as the sisters and brothers who love their siblings so much. Only my advice/opinion but I say call the PO and get him safe. I'm on this forum for my own Difficult Child who is not a heroin user and I have no idea what to do with him most of the time, but in this instance I can speak from a real experience that ended in success. love and hugs and strength going out to you, to all of us.
