My brother has always had trouble with substance abuse; When he was 13 he started smoking marijuana, then he then updated to snorting cocaine, however then he started popping pills which graduated into heroin, once my brother was addicted to heroin my whole family rallied together.
The people I was with and I tried checking him into unusual rehabilitation centers and nothing worked. He would just check himself out and look for drugs. The people I was with and I have a modern method with him and it is toiling… I am only being tentatively hopeful since that is the nature of being a family member of a drug addict. I found online that people use CBD to treat substance abuse complications. That heroin addiction can be helped with a little CBD treatment. It is not a 100% guarantee, but it is something. Thankfully my state allows for recreational cannabis. Getting a CBD high strain of cannabis flower wasn’t hard at all. I got a bowl, bong and rolling papers. I even bought CBD oil and a vape for my brother. I had him try the products and set him in my guest room. I am still thinking that 1 afternoon he might vanish and be looking for something harder, but, he has stayed in my lake house with his CBD products longer than I would have thought, however so maybe it is helping somewhat. I have debated on a strain of cannabis that contains THC. I hate to give him anything that affects his mind though… Dealing with an addict is actually tricky and difficult, however for now, I am blissful that I have gotten a few afternoons without worrying.
