I went through home detox with him twice, it’s gut wrenching. He didn't want professional help. He wouldn’t go to inpatient or stick with any outpatient programs. He took Suboxone for a short time then went back to the dope. I couldn’t get him to stop. He didn't want to stop.

My son died from a fentanyl overdose. He was using fentanyl and meth together. This stuff is evil. I love him so much 💚

Please please please try to get him into a good inpatient long term detox program. I wish I could be of better help.
