[quote=Anonymous]My stepdaughter is a recovering heroin addict. What helped her dad and me was to calibrate all decisions with, "I'm not going to do anything that makes it easier for you to use. I will consider anythjng that may make it easier for you to recover." Moving back home is enabling him to keep using on the side while he comes home to a warm bed and food (when he has an appetite). It helps keep him comfortable living this zombie half-life that will end in death. The one way you could support him is in getting effective depression treatment. Psychedelic therapy has also been relatively effectual for heroin users. He's going to have a dramatic dopamine deficit for years. He's going to need a lot of support to build up some reserves for when his dopamine levels crash [/quote]
