I have no experience with interventions for heroin addiction, but I do watch "Intervention" on TV. Heroin addiction seems to be one of the worst for withdrawal. So if the user is not fixing, might be hard to get them to tolerate an intervention (or even listen up). Then again, if they are starting in withdrawal because they can't get a fix and are feeling desperate and paranoid, maybe it would be a good time? I look forward to the answers.. this one is tough. |
