Thanks for coming to JustAnswer!

That's great that you're trying to help your friend kick his drug habit alot of friend would have deserted them by now and just chalked it up to a lost cause. As long as you and his family stay involved and keep him occupied with other things so that he doesn't think about his drug of choice he has a better chance than alot of people out there hooked on drugs. There may be times that he might back slide just keep him on track as to what it is he wants to do.

You are a true friend and with him having you in his life he has half the battle beat. Alot people do turn their life around but he has to be fed up of living his life like he was just the fact that you got him to take those first baby steps is a huge accomplishment. Just don't leave him he needs all the friend and family he can get. You should really think about getting him into a drug treatment center as soon as possible. It is very hard to kick the habit without treatment.

I wish I could say in the case love heals all illness but it just isn't the case he needs Drug Treatment and he needs to want to go. I hope all turns out for you, you seem like a great friend. The world needs more friend like you. Good Luck!
