What do you recommend for narcotic abuse?

Medical treatment: The longer the narcotic abuse goes on, the harder it is to quit. You may need inpatient detox under medical supervision. Can also seek help from narcotics anonymous or other support group. They often have resources and suggestions.

Desire to stop: Complex issue here. Narcotic abuse can encompass opiates, benzodiazepines(valium), alcohol, cannabis to name a few. The first is a desire to stop, which may include getting professional help. A free service is narcotics anonymous, meetings occur nearly everywhere. Rehab can work but may be expensive. An 'addictionologist" can make some good recommendations.
