I did outpatient, did Narcotics Anon, etc.
Depends on the situation and substance, but 3 things are key:
* The addicted person MUST want to be clean (no amount of pressure from outsiders will help)
* The addicted person MUST have a strong support structure (friends, family, etc.)
* And HUGELY important: Cut ties with ALL influences or 'friends' who promote using
I've been clean since Feb 27th, 2007. I'm currently trying to get my cousin clean.
