How can I help my boyfriend with his serious drug addiction?

Skye asked:

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 :D

don’t you need to worry about your self instead of worring about him because he needs to get the help and he don’t want it you can have an intavention on him with his friends that are clean and all family memebers that care and tell him how they feel but if he’s not ready no matter what you do you can’t make him recover it hast to be him he hast to want to he hast to search for help you need to work on you and stop trying to control him to go to treatment because you want him to he hast to do it him self just like you you had to decide if you wanted help right. if you force him or make him feel guilty about it he’ll play the game and go on it but he’ll just go back because if you want to stop like my husband said he’s an x addict to meth and heroin you have to change your playmates and your play ground to stay clean

You could get someone else to tell them, (maybe the so called friend of his) or write a note, and post to them, or type one yourself, unsigned, and post from another location. See drugs, in section 52, at

Every person has a unique experience that has led to his or her substance abuse. Some turned to drugs to cope with every day stress. For some social drinking slowly evolved into addiction. Some have a psychological disorder that has perpetuated a cycle of seemingly endless chemical dependency. You can help him by sending him on one of the most effective and reliable treatment centers.
