Answer by brittani LS
Maybe your local health services department can give you info. I also think it would be good if you go to various rehabs to ask them about their treatment methods, medications used, etc. To find rehabs, just use the links below. You can also call a helpline such as 800-559-9503. They’ll be able to help you in your search, as well as answer your questions regarding substance abuse.

The family feels scared, helpless and confused. The only help for the addict is to enter a residential treatment program. From my experience, out-patient doesn’t work, counseling alone doesn’t work and suboxone alone doesn’t work. Get the patient into a treatment center. At least there will be hope again.
