What is the best advice you can give an addict who is struggling to get clean? I know, and you know, that so many people try to get clean but don't have support from the community, families, or friends that are not understanding of addiction, and struggle because of the lack of support.

Often times, we hear, "if you want it bad enough, you'll get clean." Which is only true to a certain extent.

If you are going to try it regardless, definitely follow tracey's advice and have someone who knows how to administer and have naloxone in case of something going wrong.

Just like sex ed abstinence only education. I don't agree with abstinence only, even though it's the only way to avoid stds/ pregnancy, but everyone should know what to do in case abstinence doesn't work. That's essentially harm reduction.
