Soo this past week my boyfriends family and I have tried detoxing my heroin
addicted boyfriend at his home. He agreed to do it and he seemed positive and strong. He had the best set up possible for being at home every medicine
at his disposal/suboxane/muscle relaxers/sleeping aid etc all while being loved
and supported by his family.
He got a hold of heroin somehow and snorted it
the 2nd day. He hasnt been able to IV since we took all his needles,spoons,qtips etc. He pretty much used every
other day as far as I am concerned. I hardly noticed any serious withdrawl
symptoms so he clearly threw us for a loop. Well what he didnt know is that he is going
to jail tomorrow. Hence why we tried to detox him. We are telling him about his
court date tonight and staying up all night to make sure he doesnt run away and
try to avoid court.. Now he will be detoxing in jail. His own fault I suppose,
and its in his best interest right now.
Not sure of the specifics but it will be
at least a month in jail then sent to a rehab facility that offers 60-180 day
programs. So upsetting to know he will be in pain in there but this may be a
worse enough expirence to make him never wanna be in this situation again. Has
jail ever got anyone clean? Was it as awful as I imagaine its going to be? Is
this the right thing to do right now? Will he ever forgive us? Am I crazy for being relieved and actually looking forward to him being away?.. Praying he stays strong and makes the right choices for himself.
