What Are the Drugs Being Used for Substance Abuse Treatments?
Question by aiyana ss: What are the drugs being used for substance abuse treatments?
I was wondering what drugs were being used for the treatment of heroin addiction. I just got intrigued because I’ve always thought that addicts just had to get off heroin (or whatever substance it is that they’re addicted to) and that that would be enough for them to get better.

The other kinds of medications used for the treatment of heroin addiction are: naltrexone, naloxone (used in cases of overdose), and buprenorphine, among others. Buprenorphine is fairly new, but it seems to be an appealing alternative to methadone since the effect of just a single injection can last for up to 6 weeks. Keep in mind, though, that medications alone won’t be enough treatment for heroin addicts. They also need therapy, counseling, and even rehabilitation.
What Exactly Happens in Drug Rehab?
Question by Jasmine: What Exactly Happens In Drug Rehab?
I’m writing a short story for a school assignment and it’s about a teen going to rehab for heroin addiction. Obviously in order to write this I need a little insight on what it would actually be like to be in rehab. Like what do they make you do right when you check yourself in, and what activities or therapies would you partake in, daily? Also what rules and such do patients need to follow. If anyone could give me any insight or share your rehab stories I would really appreciate it.
What Help Is Available Within England for Heroin Addiction?
Question by Maverick: What help is available within England for Heroin Addiction?
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.
