My best friend takes heroin and he won't stop What can I do?

You need to research the downsides of heroin use and explain them to your friend. If he doesn't stop then, it might be a good idea to alert the law. Heroin is one of the hardest drugs to kick, depending on how long your friend has been using and if the friend really wants to quit they can go to your local ER and have themselves admitted which in turn the hospital will evaluate and try to get them into a rehab, in most of cases of Heroin users they are given methadone to help with the withdraw of the heroin. The up side to this is methadone is legal, down side is methadone is also habit forming.
