This is just another (US) cop's two cents:
empathy.
Show them you care and don't think that they're nasty or subhuman. The stigma of being an addict has made it really hard for people to admit they need help, so they hide their addiction and then die in the bathroom 10 feet from their family.
I usually say something like, "Hey man, we all have our chemical assistance. I gotta have coffee to get out of bed, and I need a bourbon after a hard day. Addiction is part of being human. But this heroin addiction could kill you, I want to help you. If your leg was broken, you'd ask for help, not try to walk it off. This is no different. You're hurt and you need professional help. Nothing wrong with that, we're here for you."

How do you feel about your implants? Do you consider it a disadvantage, or do you like the way it works? Would you rather have "normal" hearing? I think some of us are a little jealous of your bionics. What are the downsides?
