   Rehab? Mental hospital? Church?

   You aren’t retarded, you just made some poor choices. I know this because I am a recovering Heroin and Cocaine addict and a recovering alcoholic. Heroin has been the worst drug for me to kick. You made the first step by admitting you have a problem. I know I sound cheesy but it’s true. Do you think you can kick Heroin cold turkey? If you haven’t been using it daily and not that long, you may be able to with just rehab. That’s your best bet. Another alternative is the one that I’m doing and that’s going to a methadone clinic. Methadone is a government regulated drug that takes away ALL the physical withdrawl sympotms of Heroin and other opiates like Oxycotin and Vicodin. You have to go every day though and it’s usually somewhere around $100 a week unless you have like Medicaid and they approve you which isn’t easy. However, if you are doing dope every day then $100 a week is nothing. Methadone is extremely addictive though and even harder to kick than Heroin. I’ll probably be on it the rest of my life because I’ve tried going off of it several times and went right back on Heroin. That’s why I really recommend trying to quit without it by going to rehab. They do give you some meds. to ease the discomfort. If you go on Methadone, you won’t be able to get high on Heroin anymore (it blocks the high). Methadone is wonderful though that you don’t have to go thru the hell of physical withdrawl. It even helps me with the mental addiction but this isn’t the case for everyone. Methadone doesn’t get you “high” either though the first few weeks, you do feel a buzz as they try to regulate your dosage. E-mail me if you are serious about wanting to get help! I can recommend rehabs and stuff. I’ve been doing Heroin now for almost 15 years and other drugs for almost 20. I can identify. I still relapse too, it’s not easy. GOOD LUCK MAN! Don’t give up and don’t call yourself a “retard”. And remember that if you continue using drugs that you have 2 options and that’s to go to prison or die. And that’s no lie.

   Hi. I am glad that you have realized that you need help. Often it has been seen that people who are addicted are under an impression that they do not need anyone’s help and when they do start thinking otherwise, it marks as positive begining.
   What I would say is that you need to boost your confidence levels and be firm with your decision to get rid of substance abuse. There are many government and non-government agencies that provide professional help to people who are addicted to substance abuse. Depending on where you are based, you can search for local Department of Health’s special rehab centres, for instance, You can go through following resources:
   1. United States Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation: http://dvr.dhhs.state.nc.us/
   2. US Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association: http://www.uspra.org/
   3. National Institute of Health has a Medline service where you can access all health relation information. You may wish to go through their Rehab sections here: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/rehab…
   Other than this, there are also various private players who provide affordatble and personalized rehab and de-addiction services, for instance, Testcountry provides some information on chosing a Rehab and de-addiction teatment here: http://faq.testcountry.com/HOW_DO_I_CHOS…
   I would like to mention Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 which is a US national law that protects qualified individuals from discrimination based on their disability. You can find more information about your rights at this U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) site: http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/504.html
   As an outset, I am positive that you are Not retarded and you should also not think on these lines because if you were retarted, you wouldn’t have posted this query saying that you are retarded!
   Kindly feel free to ask if you have further queries. Wish you a speedy recovery.
   Regards,
   Tarun

   Honestly the best place is hospitals and neuropsychiatric institutes… don’t worry. I’ve spent some time in one, they aren’t that bad. You meet a lot of cool people, and there are nurses and therapists on hand if you need them.
