My brother is 18 year old and takes nitrosun 10 mg tablets. He is addicted to it and consumes more than 25-30 each day. How to help him?

Question

This is a very powerful drug and he is consuming way too high a dose. I don?t know where he is getting his funds to maintain this habit but something has to be done about that to limit his access to those resources. Then I suggest that he goes for immediate rehabilitation to a recovery center and stay there for at least 6 months until he is all clear and clean. Even after that he must continue addiction counseling for at least three years to completely remove the physical and psychological conditioning and craving. He will be told and taught new lifestyles, schedules, habits etc. to totally recover. If there are relapses, do not get too alarmed and give up on him. He must again persevere and fight this battle until he comes out victorious. The family members and medical fraternity must be there for him right through this recovery. He will also need to attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings for a long time too after the rehabilitation.
