You have got to convince him to let you hold the pills....Tell him if he is serious about stopping it should not be an issue.. Most addicts can't taper unless someone holds there pills..
show him the article... He has to follow it to a T.... I can help adjust it to the quanties he is taking if you have a problem making the conversion..
If you need anything just ask.. you have my email too..
