My daughter has had a heroin addiction for several years. What more can I do? Serious only this is life/death?
My daughter is in her mid 20's. She has had little clean time over the last 4 years. She has been through rehab centers and jail. She is now a convicted felon. But I received information from a trusted person she does not live with me that she " has one foot in the grave." She looks horrible, expensive daily for H, so she is prostituting daily. Therefore, I called her local crisis center to try and force green warrant her into treatment. But I was not getting much help. So, I called the police who promptly told me if she did not answer the motel door where she is living there was nothing he could do. But, they agreed to check her out, and if there were were drugs in sight, etc she would be arrested. I love my daughter so I would rather she be alive and in jail. A little later my daughter calls me screaming wanting to know why I called the police. I understand her addiction, which seems to have spurs, so I told her because I love her. She told me " now you will never know where I am again" and hung up on me. I am at a lost for help. She has no health insurance and because she is a felon she is limited to assistance.

Is it possible/or at all likely to get over heroin addiction?
I care about someone who is 20 years old and has been shooting heroin for like a couple of years maybe since about 15 , off and on... already been to rehab a few times, been locked up for stealing because of the addiction.. it's just bad. I haven't really been around it and just found out so its really hard to take this all in but WHAT HE TOLD ME is that he's going to check himself into rehab for 14 days and he wants to stay clean. But he just used yesterday when I found out but he said they wouldn't take him last time he tried to go because he had been clean for 14 days. Like I said I know nothing about it I was just kinda thrown in there for having feelings for the kid.. So he has a really strong support system & people that care about him unfortunately he's one of those people that could have a really great life and he said it himself he had everything going for him & screwed it all up, he's mad at himself, he blames others for it, and ect. So I feel like we were making progress but I just haven't been around it so closely before and my cousin said she has never seen someone be addicted to shooting heroin and fully quit... It's just a sad situation all around and I just wanna have hope that he can overcome it so what are the odds..???

I am on methadone due to heroin addiction, when i wake up my legs KILL, is this because of methadone?
I am on 95ml of methadone, this is the dose i got at which all my withdrawls stopped at.. EXCEPT I have really bad leg pains, when i wake up from sleeping i can barely walk and bend my legs. Can methadone cause this pain? Or is it still withdrawls? I never got this pain from heroin withdrawls, only the restlessness wobbely leg thing, not pain. I don't know what it is. After a while it wares off but my legs are still always stiff. Anyone have any knowledge of this?

My daughter asked me about my heroin addiction and i told her the truth?
She's 14 and she asked me if I would ever use again and I told her the honest truth that my addiction to heroin is not dead, just sleeping. My wife got pissed off at me when I told her that. The truth is I'll always be an addict and I will always want to use, right now I'm not doing it, but that's not to say tomorrow will be the same..if I could snort some smack right now I would. My wife told the kids 6 years ago when I went to rehab that I was never ever going to use again. I've used 8 times since then. Am I wrong?
