How can I help my partner whos a heroin addict?

I have been where you are and here is what I recommend: 1) You need to find an alternate place to live, and give him the ultimatum of you or treatment. By treatment I do NOT mean detox. Detox alone is ineffective (as you have seen).

I suggest looking for a Salvation Army Rehab Center in your area. This is a 6 month residential program (you will see if he is willing to change, is he willing to do whatever it takes?). 2) I agree with the others, you need to think about you and your baby right now.

I suggest going home to your parents so you can have help with your baby. Here is my story: My husband (then boyfriend) got mixed into heroin by his roomate. We moved in together (I did not know he was using) I spent months stressing, trying to figure out what was going on.

I finally figured it out and he wanted help and went to medical detox. He left detox after a few days. I am unclear as to how long he lasted w/o using, but within 2 months the drama started again.

He did all the things ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
