What Help Is Available Within England for Heroin Addiction?
Question by Maverick: What help is available within England for Heroin Addiction?
A family member of mine has a Heroin addiction. I have no idea how I can go about helping them, but having already lost one member to the drug, I do not wish to see another lose their life to it, especially one I’m so close to.
I’ve done some searching, but haven’t really found much information. It seems the only real help available has to be paid for and the prices are extortionate at best.
I don’t have much money myself, and neither does the person I wish to help.

Do Bloodshot Eyes = Drug Abuse?
Question by Club_qui_gon: Do bloodshot eyes = drug abuse?
I have a ‘friend’ who takes methadone for a past addiction and i noticed his eyes were bloodshot today. Would a regular dosage of methadone cause the user’s eyes to become bloodshot? Or should I be concerned that something is being abused?
By regular dosage I mean if you are taking methadone under the care of a doctor and have for some time, say between 6 months to a year, would bloodshot eyes be a common occurrance when you take your dosage?
I dont see any crying or hayfever but my position was, in the morning say between 9 and 10 looked fine, then at 11am he has a smoke, then eyes are bloodshot, I suppose a smoke could do it too, and perhaps i’m being overly precautions
