Ye he sees a parole an we live in the uk..
he has a huge record so they dont seem to bothered also he doesnt want to use any substitutes eg meth etc.And hes just told me roughly he had 6 bags a day sharing with someone else usually and u get for a bag at £10 about 0.4 of a gram or something like that….he is really agitated right now and telling me his plans of his new life over and over..Any suggestions?

    Most likely withdrawal symptoms will occur. Depending on the person, it will probably get worse.

    Your brother should see a doctor and try to get some prescription drugs for the withdrawal.

    LAAM for example can help keep craving away for up to 72 hours, and methadone is a classic oral opiate that is also available through prescription.

    It’s never too late to join rehab, as well.

    he will be fine if he lays off of it…smoking isnt as bad as injection….a week will be good….tell him to stop this crap, it made a mess of our family for 2 years…my nephew met the wrong kids,and was in the cleveland clinic for 10 days…

    isn’t he check by his parole officer?

    must be a state prison?

    he better stop….you can die from withdrawals……I saw
    a woman through her guts up for a week and in jail
    they don’t care…..they have veterinarians taking care of you.
    Luckily I got her out for psych reasons.

    Depends on how much he was using. A little bit or alot

    i mean it really depends on what his history with heroin has been throughout his life. hes very likely to have withdrawl symptoms if he has used it a lot. if he hasnt used before these 12 days they probably wont be that bad. but if he has used the withdrawl symptoms can be really long and miserable and last for weeks. withdrawl sucks
