sorry i forgot to say your so young 18 is such a young age you should be out enjoying your youth rather than shooting herion.Its so important you change your life now while your so young you wont have any scars and your heal as your still actually growing untill your 21.I was 17 when i first went to rehab and i survied i finally gave herion up for good in 2002 i was 18 and i havent touched herion for 8years now ive been on subutex all this time.And apart from some bad teeth that i wrecked because i was ajunkie im fine you'd never know i was a herion addict infact i still look 18 and im 26 now so please do this now while you can while your daughters young .You've so much to live for babe your so so young !!!!

Hi I'm 26 i'm from uk brum.I'm also a herion addict or ex should i say .I'm on subutex at the moment and ive been on methadone so hopefully i know a little to help you.

The only way your gonna beat this addiction is to ask for help admitt you've a problem to your doctor , and your doc will get you into a clinic asap you need to be reffered to these clinics so you need to go your gp/family doctor asap.When you get to a clinic they will ask what amount of herion your on a aday and they will either give you methadonw which is a drug that stops withdraws from herion and cravings for herion.Or you can choose subutex/subxone now if you want my honest opinion i'd advise you on subutex/subxone rather than methadone.Metahdone is a lot harder to get off where subs are alot easyer .

Also unless your boyfriend is ready to give this **** up too then im afraid honey you must really think about the future you have together as a family.Because your daughter needs both parents well and as normal as possible.Your always struggle if you give up alonewithout your boyfriend quitting too.2addicts together is a bad mix you become co-dependent on eachother as herion addicts and i've myself been with another herion addict partner and lets just say i had to leave him and start again on my own if i didnt levae him i'd still be using now.So please realise whats more important yourself and your daughter or a boyfriend and a father who only cares about himself.
sorry if that sounds harsh im just trying to reach out to you from someone whos been in your postion.

You have a few options. Your best bet is to go to an inpatient rehab for 90 days. This option has been sown to have the lowest relapse rate for heroin addictions. Secondly, would be an outpatient or inpatient rehab facility for a shorter length of time. Then, of course there are opiate replacement therapies like Suboxone or Methadone. Suboxone is probably the best bet of the two because of convenience and ease of withdrawals compared to Methadone. Meth and Sub therapies are much more effective when paired with therapy and 12 step programs. Do any of these sound like viable options?
