How will I convince my friend to undergo drug addiction treatment?

Question by chanelle a: How will I convince my friend to undergo drug addiction treatment?
She just won’t budge. I already tried talking to her, but when she starts telling me that heroin makes her happy, I just don’t know what to say next. She’s so stubborn. I wish I knew what to say to her to make her change her mind. Can someone please give me suggestions? I really want to help her.

Best answer:

Answer by dara lr
It’s a good thing that she has someone like you who’s willing to help her. Have you tried talking to her about the harmful effects of heroin? It might open her eyes as to what heroin really does to her body. She has lived a lot of years of her life without heroin, it wouldn’t do her any good to just keep on depending upon it now. It’s not helping her, it’s only ruining her body and her mind. Tell her that she’s better off without the drug. Tell her that heroin is messing with her brain and you want the real her back. You can also get professionals to help you with this. You can call 800-559-9503 to ask for advice. You can also bring in her closest family members and friends to do a drug intervention. I really hope she listens. Good luck and I’ll keep her in my prayers.

Talk to the counselor, or teacher at your school. You need some help to deal with this. They will be able to advise you about what to do. You shouldn’t deal with this alone.
