Heroin addiction????????????????!
Question: Heroin addiction!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
My brother came to me sat 3 days ago!. He's going cold turkey!. He had a habit of 36 bags a day sniffing!. Prior to coming in 3 weeks he knocked it down to 7!. Sunday was rough he was in the bed not sleeping but throwing up and in so much pain I cant describe!. Monday night was the first time he got out of the bed able to talk a little and even tried to shower!. He's 200% better at this hr!. Still hasn't eaten or drunk hardly anything!. His life he put yet again in my hands!. What should I do or look out for is it almost over!? Please advise!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Stay close to him and maybe see if he can keep some food down!. Maybe some soup or just broth and crackers!. Make sure he has plenty of liquids!. Give him some ice chips to suck on!.!. If he gets to dehydrated he may need to go to the hospital!.
He seems to have gone through the hardest part!.It should get easier from here!. If it seems to be to much for you get him to a hospital!. Just know that your a wonderful brother and without you he would more then likely not have made it this far!.
Next get him into some therapy!. He needs some other support as this is to much for one person to handle!.
I myself am in my last part of my recovery!. To keep me on that right track I have educated myself on addiction and see a therapist once a week!. I also would advise him to be checked out by a doctor!.
Just check on him through out the night!. Most important you need to get some rest and take care of yourself!. A lot of times people who help a loved ones forget about there own well being!. If your a mess your no good to him!. Plus you deserve a break, if possible get some one to take over for a while so you can clear your head and it always helps to have the support!.
