What is the best way to handle a heroin addict looking to get clean?
The person I love relapsed a few weeks back after a year and some of being clean. The reason he got clean the 1st time was because one of his best friends overdosed a day after xmas... Him and his 3 neighbors who are all the same age and were all best friends...are addicts. Not only them but heroin is everywhere in this town. I really need some advice to figure out what would be the best situation for him. He wants to get the help, so that's the important thing. He has no health insurance btw. And what are the best ways I can stay positive taking care of him for the next 7 days. I had to quit my job because it was either one or the other....saving a life is far more important especially because it's my other half. Please help

I THINK MY BOYFRIEND IS ON HEROIN?
Well I don't know much about drugs but for sure I have had family members who were drug attics and even died of overdose.I never did any kind of drugs in my life so I have little knowledge of it. Now I'm no expert but I suspect my boyfriend is doing drugs, I'm not sure what kind but to my knowledge I think is heroin.Me and my boyfriend been together for 10 months now and when we first started dating everything seem so good.For the last 3 months I been with him he has been acting kind of strange.Not that things are bad now but I have a feeling somethings just not right. We love each other very much and he don't treat me wrong in any way. But sometimes I feel like I can't trust him and deep down inside I feel like he be lying to me but I can not prove that he is lying or even doing drugs so I get mad.He's had a history of selling and doing drugs before and has also been locked up before.So basically he grew up on the streets.To make things even worst him and my brother use to sell and do drugs together way before I met him so my brother told me all about his pass life.Although he was real with me and told me all about his pass and things he has done before I was with him but I still made to choice to be with him, but anyways back to the story.Even people see me with him now ,and they look at me like I am crazy for being with a guy like this.Now my boyfriend is very nice to me and treats me right and i love him very much but my only concern is that i think he is on drugs. And usually when i have a feeling about something i am hardly ever wrong.Because i am a person that likes to analyze things or people in general and i just pick up little clues so i know my instincts are usually right My boyfriend do not work so he does not have money.He only makes a little bit of money under the table and uses that to pay his phone bill and car insurance and for gas but thats about it. So he don't make enough money to buy drugs.But here is the twist sometimes when he comes to my house he looks sort of loss, his eyes look like droopy, he goes on that nod stage , and then when he stands he leans and than looks like he is going to fall or even when he sits he leans, and also his speech be slurred so i know he's on something.Now recently i found out he pawn his rings, he pawn his guitar, he pawn his lab top and even goes after my family asking them for money which i did not know any of this till later but he does pay. Sometimes he will be hanging with me and then say he will be right back and he does not tell me where he is going and on top of that takes like an hour to come back. So then when he does come back his appearance looks different as if he was taking drugs or something.I try to look for clues or something like trace marks,needles. i search his car his phone but nothing i cant figure it out. i don t hang out with him that much because i am busy with work and school and stuff so we do not hang out as much as we want to.I need help but do not know what to do but i feel something fishy going on
