Question:
Concerned mom, my 27 year old son is addicted to Oxycontin he shoots up about 5-8 times a day?
we had him in rehab but he comes right out and gets back on them, he say's he wants to get help but nothing we do helps. has anyone else used this drug that could give me some insight on why it's so hard to get off of? i'm afraid i will bury my son before his next birthday. i had him arrested at one point just so i would know he would be alive for a few more days. is there any safe way for me to do this at home without having to send him off again.
please help

Addiction is a hard thing to break. He may need a full treatment plan. A stay in in patient, then go to out patient and maybe stay in halfway house. He needs new friends and perhaps a new environment. If he lives and use in Dallas then maybe he should live in Galveston and make new friends. He will have the desire to use for the rest of his life. Try to get him to substitute a positive addiction like running or gardening in its place
