What help is available within England for Heroin Addiction?
Written on July 17, 2009 – 10:30 pm | by Drug Abuse Help
A family member of mine has a Heroin addiction. I have no idea how I can go about helping them, but having already lost one member to the drug, I do not wish to see another lose their life to it, especially one I’m so close to.
I’ve done some searching, but haven’t really found much information. It seems the only real help available has to be paid for and the prices are extortionate at best.
I don’t have much money myself, and neither does the person I wish to help.
If anyone has any information on the laws governing addiction, IE, what can be done to someone unwilling to seek help themselves, I’d also greatly appreciate that. I’m wondering if there is some power such as that used under the Mental Health act that relates to drug abuse.
Thank you in advance for your responses.
