Yaela & Aries – “You are probably right and it seems like he never took rehab seriously.”
And one of the reasons is because he knows it doesn’t work (Methadone clinics). I did some training in drug addiction. The basic only hope is to find a doc who does Suboxone treatment. This with therapy has somewhat of a success rate. Going to Narc Anon. with the therapy is an added bonus. Before I started my training, I was full of misconceptions, like drug addicts are only from the lowest denomination of society, etc.
There is hope, even at his age. I think at this point he will try anything to get out. He probably is disgusted at himself right now, but doesn’t know how to stop. He needs help. What I’m telling you – is right now the best treatment modern medicine has to offer. As far as I know the gov. isn’t putting money into research for this disease, so better treatments will be far off in coming.
