Funny you mention the Intervention show. They did a story on a guy who was a gambling addict. No less than a week after the show I see him at Hollywood Park with that crazed "I need action" look.

The problem with this is that "bottom" is very subjective. Some people can start noticing that they are spending too much money and decide to quit, while others are on the streets, no teeth, and sucking cck, and still think it could be worse.

have the cops pick her up

What will that do? She will go to jail for maybe a few days and then they will release her. Especially if it is her first offense (or even second or third); it isn't like she is a dealer.

Yeah, that is a good idea. Even better maybe the OP should beat some sense into her and then call the cops. Or the OP can kill himself, the cops will think it was her, and then she will go to jail for murder.

Seriously, people go to prison for years and come back out and start using heroin/cock/crack/etc... again. If one is an addict, there really isn't anything the police can do about it.

i could be wrong but i think police know how to deal with addicts, they have phone numbers to call. rotting away in a cell is probably more common for people that are [censored] up without drugs.

Re: have freind with drug problem... it\'s really scaring me. help? in
 

You are wrong. At least in major cities that is not how it works (I have no idea how it works in Mayberry). What makes you think police know how to deal with addicts? They know how to deal with them at the time, but not once they are sober. It isn't their job to help addicts recover.

Also, most cities, once you are sober you are out. Now, like I said, after the 3rd or 4th time, they might keep you in jail for a few weeks, but even then, what will that do.

Also, why do you equate "beating sense into her" and "police know how to deal with addicts"?

it's fine to post it here, but this is another one where the psych forum (which has actual psychologists in there somtimes) might have better answers.
