Watch your back. Watch your stuff. She is no longer to be trusted, if she ever was. Sorry to say, but the old her you knew is gone forever.

Until then, best you can do is let her know you'll be there when she is ready to get clean and then watch your back until then. Addicts do some fucked up shit. |

The drugs take over their brain, not much you can do to help them and rational thinking becomes a thing of the past. If you take away their cash flow, they will turn to prostitution. It's a no win situation. I hope your friend gets a moment of clarity and accepts that she has a serious problem. Best of luck.

You may consider her to be a friend but she sure as hell doesn't think you are her friend. She only has one friend. You ain't it.
Break all ties with her--it's the only way. No matter the sad story--the only answer is "NO!" |

She's been using Heroin for 6 months. One time I caught her shooting up and flushed her shit, if you ever wanna see a doper go nuts have them watch while you flush their stash. I've brought her to rehab twice, she leaves after two days, I dunno what else I can do. Any advice ? CUT your "friend loose" you cant save people from themselves |

You may consider her your friend. But when it comes down to it her only friend is her needle. She will choose it over you, over ANYTHING, every time. Act accordingly.

Realize that she is no longer your friend. The best thing is to get her busted and thrown in jail because it might just save her life. Sure it seems like a dick move but you'll really be doing her a favor. Or do nothing and wait for the overdose to come.

CUT your "friend loose" you cant save people from themselves If she was your fiance, a reasonable individual would have to consider ejecting. Just a friend? Fuck that eject right now . . . . or hell, you could wait and let us know how it works out after she's pawned your truck, sold your dog for drug money, and is banging her dope dealer in your kitchen while you're at work. Doesn't matter if you're BFF's. You have absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose. Not fun to read, I know it comes off as slightly insulting, but that's the life you'll be living unless you make a clean break. |

OP, if you can, see if you can get her to examine the underlying unhappiness in her life and address that. There is some thought out there that addiction is often related to general unhappiness in life.

You are asking a lead sinker to float.
Only positive thing I can offer here is for you to try and source some nasal narcan (naloxone). Sadly, you'll probably need it. Sorry OP |

Nothing you can do OP. Flushing her stash isn't going to do shit. I watched numerous friends go down that path back in the day. She will wind up with a record, in jail, dead, or will decide to get herself clean. None of which you can control.

In the kindest way possible I can say,
Pretend she's dead. I deal with addicts every day. Just cut it all off. Done. When she can say "I've been clean for 2 years." And it's the truth, you may CONSIDER letting her back in your life. |

We have had several members here go through this recently, some with tragic results. I'll tell you mine. My youngest son is a heroin addict. You can't believe anything that comes out of their mouth. Nothing. They will lie, steal, and cheat anyone they can. My son was in jail Christmas Eve. My ex-wife bailed him out, as a Christmas present. He has been back in twice since then. He texted me 2 DAYS AGO WITH A SCAM. I'll sell you my tax deduction for 500 bucks. If you do it tomorrow, I'LL GIVE YOU THE LOW RATE OF 400 BUCKS! ACT TODAY! He's 26. No, I didn't do it. I can give you a lot of stories. But you really only need one.

Knew a guy years ago that got totally strung out. Stole the battery out of his friends cars for money. Then broke into an old girlfriends house and stole thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment and she was a professional photographer. He got caught and got off on probation. Started using a short time later and really went off the deep end. Broke into his own parents home twice. Finally was caught strong arm robbing a corner store and sent to prison for 10 years. He died in prison of hepatitis. |

Nothing you do will make her stop using heroin but you could steer her to methadone or suboxone. Those won't make her stop using drugs but they can reduce the harm she does to herself and others.

I've known a bunch. The only way for them to get clean is jail. It physically prevents them from getting their fix. Call the local PD and get something started even if it's just for possession or even possession of paraphernalia (needles) she'll be arrested. Even when she gets off it while she is in she is going to begin a life long battle with staying clean.
