Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern for your boyfriend. The success of any de-addiction treatment depends upon the motivation the individual is having to quit the drug. If an individual has enough motivation to quit then this means that he has finished 50% of treatment. So you should keep him motivated to quit and support him. If he doesn't want to go to a rehabilitation centre even then there is no problem. Home based treatments are available to quit the drugs. Any de-addiction treatment consists of acute phase and maintenance phase. In acute phase offending drug is replaced by some drug that prevents withdrawal and in maintenance treatment gradual reduction of doses of drug is done and individual becomes free of drug. So please visit a psychiatrist and discuss about the detox treatment. Its not very difficult, there should be no shame in consulting a detox treatment.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
