Im glad i live in the UK there isn't really a problem over here with it, just Crack, Heroin and the new one is called SPICE, a chemicaly made smokeable like weed substance but more addictive than crack and kills more than heroin. As an ex-addict I'm making moves to be a counsellour soon. Thanks for the Video bro.💯👊🏾
If the person actually admits it to you, and does not see a problem with it, or is not ready to enroll in a detox/counseling program, then perhaps monitoring them from a distance and notifying the authorities may assist. Sometimes individuals are so entrenched in a SUD (Meth) that they do not even consider the fact that it illegal. Good luck !
I think the high rates in relapse might have something to do with their support systems after treatment. Most addicts are trying to escape some form of hurt, rejection, trauma, etc. Their families and friends turn their backs which is most likely a reason for starting the down spiral. They only feel happy when high. Ask any addict and they will not say they enjoy their situation. People that havent been taught how to deal with trauma usually turn substance abuse, gambling, sex, etc to escape that reality. Support, love and trust from friends and family is all thats required. Commitment from these relationships is paramount
