Question by roarmrdinosaur: Boyfriend’s Drug Addiction and Guilt-Tripping Family?
My boyfriend of 4 years has been using Oxycontin for almost a year now. His social circle has been created because of the drug. He recently has come to terms and admitted to me that he does not want to be dependent upon them anymore and he would like to get his life back together. I do not want to be up his ass but at the same time I don’t want to deny the situation either.

I went to his parents because I was afraid for his health. All that happened with that was seem to make the situation worse. They put GPS tracking on his phone, his brother has kept searching the neighborhood for him and once he finds him he harasses him and his friends. He keeps in contact with me although he got mad and distrusted me because of the fact that I told them. He still see’s me and calls me. His Mom keeps hounding me because she knows that he see’s me and that I know more about where her son is and what he’s doing than she does. I assured her that he is safe, eating healthier, waking up early and trying to get a job. He’s not better but he is progressing along the road to recovery but he WILL eventually need professional help. She believes that I’m “playing games” with her and if “I loved him as much as I say I do” that I would rat on him and pretty much act more worried.

I am worried about him but he seems to run away more if I constantly say “Are you still on drugs” “Why are you doing that still?” “Are you getting better?” etc…I feel like I am taking just a different approach to the situation. I know that she’s his mother and obviously mothers will interpret this situation much differently but I feel like her approach is what’s driving him away from her. He won’t call his Mom or go over to the house. She blames me.

What should I do? I do not want to have a sour relationship with his Mom and have her feel like I’m “hiding things from her” and that I “do not love her son enough” but I feel like their approach is driving him away more.

(By the way, he’s a Momma’s boy where she does everything for him and he has pretty much did not learn any sense of responsibility yet)

Answer by Kelle
You are in a difficult position.

You are right. The more harassing the more he will isolate himself.

The key is to say you care without facilitating the addiction. never give any money.

He is a big boy. He’s knows the situation he is in. HE HAS TO DECIDE what to do.

Oxycontin is a VERY addictive drug. It is unlikely he will be able to quit without going to rehab.

You might want to investigate rehab. centres so you are ready with a suggestion if he reaches that point.

Personally i would have as little contact with his family as possible – you don’t need the hassle.

Say nothing to him about his drug problem. It’s an old record; he knows. Just reassure him that you love him.

PS An intervention would not work in this case.

PPS We don’t need 2 casualties here. You need to think about getting on with your life and worrying about him will take a heavy toll.He needs natural consequences to make a decision.

The facilities are above average and a patient has all the room and space he needs. Luxuries like air conditioning and hotel suite-like room may be missing but the patients get all the necessary things they need to live a simple life.

Christian alcohol rehabs have won accolades in the past. These rehabs follow a holistic approach along with therapeutic and the 12-step approach. There is no pressure on the patients to convert to Christianity. Every patient is treated with respect and dignity and every patient is provided spiritual and religious lessons and books to read.

Christian alcohol rehab centers also ensure that the possibility of a relapse is reduced to a bare minimum. The patient leaves the rehab center as a God-fearing individual. The belief that dependency on a substance is not the way God meant you to live is embedded in the hearts of the patients. Soon they realize that the bliss they were looking for in drugs once is actually in living a sober life and carrying out the responsibilities you have.

As long as the patient considers living his life with morals, a relapse stays away. Rehab centers also provide programs that can help an individual avoid a relapse. These programs come in very handy and if you follow the steps mentioned in the program religiously, the possibility of a relapse is completely destroyed in a few weeks. These programs are short and can be carried out in a few weeks.

With this kind of support, these rehab centers stand at a point where they can hope to better their best and provide even better services to the ones who need them.
