Question:
How can I help my sister recover from heroin addiction?
My mom and dad got divorced, and this has been so hard on my sister. Ever since then, she's been in a slump that she can't get out of. She started turning to heroin, and this has not helped her at all. It just worsened her case. How can I help her recover from her addiction?
Answers:
I'm so sorry for what is happening to your sister.
One thing you can do is convince her to get herself treated. She should undergo drug rehabilitation. Consult a doctor so that your sister will be able to get the medical help that she needs. Remember, though, that drug rehabilitation can only work so far. Your sister still has to make choices once she goes out of the treatment program. She has to have the will and determination to get over her addiction so as not to fall into relapse. Your presence, support, and understanding will really be valuable at a time like this. I hope she gets treated soon. Good luck.
