Practical Advice for Family and Parents | Heroin Addiction Stories – My Treatment My Choice


 

Practical advice for family and parents | Heroin addiction stories – My Treatment My Choice – Drawing on his own experiences from helping his son with heroin dependence, Tony shares his advice on the importance of support and understanding, and what to do if you suspect a loved one is using drugs. He stresses the need for information on treatment, relapse and the facts families must face if prison becomes a reality. Heroin dependence doesn’t only affect the user, but can have a devastating impact on their friends and family as well. It can be exceptionally difficult for the loved ones of drug and heroin users to know what to do for the best and how to help. Throughout Damien’s battle with drug and opioid dependence, Tony and his family experienced a widespread lack of support and understanding of what families go through. They found it difficult to get information about drug and heroin dependence or advice on how they could help their son.
