[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 722558, member: 19290"] That's the $64k question, and it seems like it would be even less clear with comorbidity (schizophrenia?). The sanctity of your home seems like an easy call. So does providing him food, if for no other reason than the hierarchy of needs concept. If people live fix to fix, or day to day, because of addiction or executive function deficits, does that mean that floating them to their next fix is enabling? It would seem so. But if he is entrenched, I can't think it makes much difference if it's occasional and doesn't result in renewing a cycle of pressure. If he needs stabilization for his mental health issues, foremost, I would even consider conditioning more help on psychiatric visits and/or medication compliance. Giving cash doesn't feel wise, but maybe support for housing? I don't know the history, but the idea that the drug monkey isn't alone on his back would be a complicating issue for me too. [/QUOTE]
