What Can Be Done to Help an Oxycontin Addict Who Is Destroying His and Other’s Lives but Who Doesn’t?

Question by janie: what can be done to help an oxycontin addict who is destroying his and other’s lives but who doesn’t?
show up for treatments? What does it feel like to take it? Does the abuser retain normal thought patterns? Do they not care about anything but the drug? If they are crushing it up an snorting it, what health effects are there?

First of all, the abuser has to want to be helped…and then he/she should get help from a proessional agency if possible…rehab is definitley the suggestion and if he/she is refusing to admit they are having a problem,freinds should schedule an intervention and let the abuser know there is a problem that is not only affecting him/her but the entire extended family.

overcoming a drug addiction is tough which not many people can endure. The best way is to put him into rehab and at the same time giving him consulation.

After he sucessfully kicked the habit, keep a watch out for him because its easy to get addicted again and teh drug dealer might mist probably come and bug him to buy drugs.

Its not a easy job and his family must play a big role in directing him back to the correct path.
