may allah reward you for helping me ...some1 in need:cry:
 
I just read the first post so I apologize if this response has already been given...
whatever you do-- you can't make the quit cold turkey.. there can be serious horrible ramifications to that-- from seizure all the way to coma and death...
If you are in the united states... you can help them meet with a psychiatrist who also runs an addiction clinic... they use other opioid agonists mainly (methadone) to taper off... though their opioid receptors might be damaged permanently at least there is a possibility of rehabilitation.

If you live in England.. then I am sure they have equivalent programs there to help addicts that are hopefully government funded?

i have added my reply in ur post
 
wow... I am sorry to hear that sister... you need a better methadone clinic that tests for drug metabolites...
that is what they do here in the U.S...
basically you have to drink it in front of the doctor come back later so they can check your urine for methadone metabolites ( that it has gone through your system).... it is the only way... I am sorry to have to say this.... but the situation is very grim if they personally don't wish to reform... you'll have to try something truly radical and very harsh.. by calling the cops as they are about to make a sale and get them arrested, and locked up... I think some discipline is what they need....

sis this isn't something you can pray away or preach them back into proper conduct..... you have to toughen up and step on your emotions right now... as if you were trying to save someone's life-- it is time to act not wallow and worry... just act without thinking what am I doing to my brothers or family... saving them now is better than letting them down a very deadly path, where they both end up dead in a ditch somewhere.... you either tell the doctor this isn't working and you need him to make sure they swallow their medication in front of him or her--or get them arrested for doing methadone... and see what you can work out with the proper authorities---

May Allah make it easy on you--- you are in mu du'aa

Has sites to help with alcohol but also drugs

http://www.lifeline.org.uk/?gclid=CObb2_-_losCFQztlAodxV7TQg

Lifeline: Lots of support at this site

I have a Brother who works with Drug abuse and the first step is seeing your GP. The range of treatments on the NHS includes counselling, medication and admitting to hospital,(although it's considered a mental health problem and so the wards are psychiatric ones.

Methadone is availible on prescription as a substitute but really it's down to individual willpower. Actually stopping isnt that hard, it's staying stopped.

See your GP. I hope you can draw strength from whatever source you can.

Best wishes & good luck.

My Dear Sister, once a person is on drugs it is very hard for them to go off it especially heroin.

Pray to Allah Ta'ala for help and guidance and just keep onptaying and following Islam as this is an addiction which many Muslims and Non-Muslims are being caught up into.

Insha'Allah Ta'ala all of us shall pray but inthe meanwhile keep faith and trust in Allah Ta'ala above all and care for your parents and your elders as they to me need it alot as having them experience such things in the situation you are in uis not very pleasant.

thank you all for ur support and saying u will keep my family in ur dua's. .....

you know from these past yr's experiences and all the advice ive got from this thread....i do understand that the main way for them to sort their life out is thier own WILL. but u see ithink my brothers wont change...not with their own will anyway. the thing is, whatever their doing is selfish, & yes they'll be punished for it..no1 else. but the main stress for me & my family is the fact that my parents are having a hard time. we dont like seeing them stressed and depressed. they deserve better....hence although deep down we are all upset with our brothers...we make extra efforts & efforts over & over again...all because we have a tincy wincy bit of hope in us.

my mother would cry regulalry...she would say ...'is this why i carried them 9 months 10 days in my womb?'.....:cry: ...'is this why i wiped their nose, and woke up early to take them school?'... :cry: ...she'd cry to allah and say...'why have you let both my sons become like this? ' :cry: ...she has this hope of my brothers looking after them after I one day leave them. but i cnt leave them in this state...& i also want my parents to be happy & see they are sorted b4 their time is up! :cry:

we are all so fed-up and sad. its like theirs nothing much to do.:cry: ...they have totally bottled up, its like they've chosen not to change. its my parents that are my major concern. they can be as selfich as they want, but its my parents. & i have a BIG strain on me right now.:cry: ..how will i ever leave them?:cry:
 
Dear sis, read surah Ikhlas once near your brothers when they are asleep. Read for 21 days. InshaAllah they will quit this bad habit. (Read just loud enough so as not to wake them).

i love all of you's for all your effort for your support & advices....all brothers & sisters...hope allah rewards you for this...

but sadly i cannot do any of the advices above. not that i dnt want to. they make it impossible. this one u suggested sister, if only if i could. they lock their door when they go to bed, & also they sleep akward hours...which makes it hard too:cry: :cry:

im so sorry...may allah make it easy for me to try either advice...:cry:
 
sis ... you need to get an outsider to help.... drugs will be the death of your family... both physically, emotionally and I reckon financially... can't you at least have a talk with your bros' GP... let him know that they aren't using methadone as they should and see what he might suggest? This is so much bigger than you and anything this forum can offer.... At the end of the day we all retire to our respective lives and you are stuck with two druggies and a mother who has been had....

if you don't like something change it ... Only you know what to do... this is up to you now...

I hope I don't sound harsh but this is very serious...

:w:
 
Maybe if they went prison.. they wont have access to it. its really hard to get someone off that crap.. i spose they are not practicing. as a sister its much harder to sort it out, probably they wont have it and fight you.

Your best bet is to keep making dua.
