I couldnt wake him up threw water in his face, shook him, and he barely responded until he heard me yell for his 14 yo brother to bring me a phone to call 911. He admitted it was heroin. We physically restrained him waiting for the ambulance. If not, he would have left and God only knows what would have happened. He was about to turn 18 when this happened. He would not agree to inpatient rehab, but we do now have him in an intensive outpatient program, and he is on Suboxone. It seems to be working very well. The only downside I see is that it only treats opiates, so he can still use other drugs. As I see it, Id rather him be off of the really bad stuff first, the rehab tells me it will all follow in time. He is seeing a psychiatrist there and social workers, and hopefully will soon be going to group. I dont think we are supposed to post names of treatment places here, so if youd like some info, please pm me. The place he goes to has several locations in the US and I know of someone else who did not have insurance and they gave her a grant into the program, but did this because she WANTED HELP.
