Hello, I have a friend who is addicted to hydrocodone, cocaine, heroin, weed, and some others she si trying to quit. I am her best friend and I want to know the symptoms of withdraws and anything I can do to help her. She is 16 and needs to stop. She's taken steps to do this but how can I assist her?

Hi Allie! There are a few options you can do but the thing is that I can’t tell much unless you give us more info. How addicted is your friend? Does she take the stuff occasionally or she needs them every day? Do the parents know? Is she really willing to stop? It would be great if you could tell us her story. That way it would be easier to say anything on the topic.

I mean, I am no expert but I do know some stuff about it. Like, if she takes the stuff everyday and can’t be without any of it, then she may as well need professional help as it is really hard to get off heroin. In that case, you will probably have to be both, a cop and a friend when she needs you!

Addiction is a very serious and hard stuff. And being 16 only makes it harder.
Anyway, I would love to hear from you again, so that we can discuss the matter when you give us some more info.

Bye
