How can I help my boyfriend with his serious drug addiction?
He and I are both addicts. Our drug of choice is Heroin. I’m on the Methadone program and it’s working for me. His use is ruining our relationship and it’s killing me. I love him so much. I worry that he’ll OD all the time. I’ve already had to give him CPR once. We’ve known people that have died. I asked my Mom if we could help him by paying for the Methadone treatment and taking him but my Mom doesn’t trust him to pay her back. She feels his parents should pay and I agree. He refuses to tell his parents! They know that he has had a problem and even took him to a 10 day state paid rehab that obviously didn’t work. I think he’s ashamed. I think they blame me ’cause I was a recovering Heroin addict when we first met and they think I introduced him to it but that’s not the case. A friend of his got me on it again and introduced him to it. It doesn’t matter. He needs help. SHOULD I TELL HIS PARENTS? COULD I TRUST THEM NOT TO TELL HIM THAT I TOLD THEM? HELP ME!

Tell his parents, if he overdoses he could be in grave danger. Is it worth his life not to tell them and keep your dignity?
He needs to get into rehab, I say if you can afford it go longer than ten days in a private home, you can stay there together or go on a cruise! My parents were heroin junkies and to get off it they went for a one month cruise, no dealers out at sea
