Close Families & Friends Of Addicts
My husband started experimenting with dru gs at a very young age He has always used drugs as an outlet to his anxiety. His drug use became a full blown addiction and started to create probelms about 4 yrs ago. His drugs of choice are weed, opiates, and cocaine. His weed addiction is the most profound, but has not really been what has casues the big problems. In the last yr or so the opiates have caused him to finally seek treatment. He has completed detox and about to go on to the next step
