At least you are willing to try to help. You could try an intervention Round up a small but very dedicated group of family members and/or close friends with the common goal of getting the concerned party into treatment Interview and then hire a professional interventionist to help facilitate this very sensitive process Once on board, the professional interventionist helps the group find the right treatment center for the individual Make the necessary arrangements for having the person admitted to the chosen treatment program Plan the place and time to do the intervention Discuss and then script what each participating person will say during the intervention Outline what consequences will be leveled against the concerned person should they refuse to agree to go to rehab Make arrangements for the concerned person to go to drug abuse treatment immediately upon their agreeing to get help For more information about interventions and how to find the right professional interventionist, you can call this toll-free helpline, 1- 800 567 5986 You say that he has been to rehab several times, and it has not seemed to work so I don't know if an intervention will work, but it will give you, and whom ever else is involved the chance to say how you guys feel. You can say how much this is hurting you guys, and you hate watching him ruin his life. You will need to make a plan to perhaps tell him if this behavior continues that you will have to cut all strings, and you must follow through with what you say. Sometimes it will take for the addict to hit rock bottom before he changes. He has all these people who care and are there for him so why bother changing? All you can do is try, and pray it will work. I wish you the best of luck in your efforts. There are ways that you can help, but it’s true you can’t help someone unless they want to be helped.

The cure is all too often death. The solutions are rehab and moving to a new location where sources for obtaining drugs are unfamiliar. That would most likely be a small town, remote from anything large. And still, they will really want and be committed to getting clean. There is really nothing you can do or say that will change them. Jail, prison or even a hospital will not necessarily seperate an addict from drugs. Their friends will smuggle things in.

The person don't eat, sleep, or bathe at times. They live for the drug only until the completely hit rock bottom and is sick and tired of living that way. It can happen by overdose that almost kills them, becoming homeless, don't have no more assess to people that will give them money, or face with jail time. They have to really be ready for a life change and then someone professional can help. When this happens u can be there for your friend and that friend can appreciate then There’s not much u can do, crack addiction is a disease that takes complete control on ones life.

For most part, they have to want it for themselves. This is a very addiction drug. Now for you to help him, I would just support him in letting him know that you are here for when he needs you, but not to help him buy or sell anything for him to get his drug. They do have some real good rehabs out there that can make him clean with standing in for months at a time, now the ones for 30 day treatments to me arent going to work unless he has his mind up he will quit.... and not go back into the same direction he was with, friends, local areas and such.. Prayers out to him,,, and you for being there as a friend and caring,,,,, ya might want to call the drug addiction 800 # in ur area (look in phonebook, or you can call this # to get a referal in ur area.....1800-861-1768.

Otherwise, there's nothing that YOU personally as a person can do to guarantee they will get clean. They have to want to get clean, and even wanting doesn't mean it will necessarily happen. They need a bonafide, 24 hour a day partner to keep them from even having the smallest chance of smoking. If you have the time, then never leave their side.

That is obviously not the case. The best thing you can do is to tell him/her that you can no longer be around him/her; that you won't watch them kill themselves. Then leave - don't call, visit, etc. It sounds cold, but you need to live your life & they have chosen to destroy theirs.

First, try to eliminate the source where your friend is getting it. I don't know to what extent your friend is addicted, but once they recover, there is always that feeling of wanting it. They just have to be strong enough to walk away. I, myself, was once a crack addict. I was fortunate and strong enough to quit on my own. I got rid of my source and met a wonderful person and have never done it since. However, I have had it offered. I did not have to go to rehab, my body had had enough and I looked in the mirror one night and thought of my kids, that was it. It may help if you move to another part of town or a new town all together. Just get rid of the source!!!
