[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 147954, member: 27"] Jessie, I have no first-hand knowledge or experience in dealing with a difficult child with heroin, but as you can see, we do have members who are where you are, or have traveled that road. My son's drug of choice for the most part, was marijuana, although he tried crack cocaine one night, and it was a 6 week spiral downward into the depths of you know where. It literally consumed his every thought and waking moment. I don't know about the suboxone, but have heard that it helps them come off that high. Obviously the game plan is to wean them off that gradually. Stealing does go hand in hand with a drug addict, which is why we couldn't allow our son to stay in our home anymore. He stole things from us which will never be recouped. My heart goes out to you. I know how heartbreaking this road can be. Only he can do it. If we could love them enough to make them better, none of our difficult child's would be addicts. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Hope this program helps. My fingers are crossed that it does. You need to have a game plan in the event that things don't go as you hope. You need to be prepared to draw your line in the sand, and know what you will and will not tolerate. Sending hugs, Deb [/QUOTE]
