Boyfriend using heroin?
by Delia
(Texas)
I just found out my boyfriend of three months uses heroin. I've read the signs and symptoms and he has them.
He had told me that he had used heroin before but last used it in 2005. He is 54 years old, unemployed and depressed. When we met he tried so hard to pull out of his depression" and as he put it, "rejoin society".
He just saw a Doctor (friend) who gave him Cymbalta for depression. I have come to the realization he needs help. Where do I find this for him?
He is alienated from his family. I have helped him financially for the last couple of months but my finances are strained now. I feel I need to move on with my life but care enough to know he will hit rock bottom if I leave him.
Where can I get him help? We live in Edinburg, Texas.
