1. Yes, I have several blood relatives addicted to heroin, which is why I'm unwilling to try it even once.
2. It's you who needs to be saved from them, not the other way around. When someone is addicted to heroin, they'll take advantage of everyone in their life and burn every bridge to get their next fix until all the resources available to them are exhausted and nobody trusts them anymore. Only then will they consider the first course of rehab, which will inevitably result in several relapses and several more trips to rehab.

Yep. Recovery rates are terrible. You're more likely to survive cancer.

They have to want to quit. If they do it for someone else they are going to be back where they started. I know more than a few heroin addicts in recovery and they will tell you the same thing. You can push an addict towards rehab and recovery but can't force them into it. Anyone can recover but they have to want it.

There's only one way out of a heroin addiction. Just ask Kurt "I swear that I don't have a gun" Cobain.

Addicts are mentally ill. If you fix the root of their problem, the rest will follow.

Some people are functional addicts. Others are degenerates who'll do anything for money. It's not fair to lump them both in the same category.

Yes, I have a family member who is a recovered heroin addict. They can't be saved, but they can quit the drug and stay off of it if they want to do it. It's hard and they have to be willing to sever ties with everyone who was involved in the heroin stuff with them, otherwise they'll get pulled back in.

It's not entirely hopeless, but you'll never convince someone to give it up. They will only be ready to quit when they have made the decision for themselves. In my family member's case, he ended up with Hep C and that was the wake up call to get clean. Prior to that, he was stealing, lying, scamming -- whatever he needed to do to fund his habit. But getting sick made him look at things in a new light.
