<p>There are drugs that presumably help drug addicts with their addiction issues such as suboxone but it is addictive. Some of these medications are very expensive and if you’ve lost your job because of the sh**ty economy, you most likely cannot afford the medications.</p>
<p>I would think it likely that people would lose their jobs because of the addiction, also. Unfortunate it is so expensive. Maybe the patent will wear off sooner or later, and generic versions will spring up.</p>
<p>Yes they do. Some people hit rock bottom before they come around. I had a pool put in by a guy who is an addict who’s been clean for 20 years. I asked him how he did it. He said that it had to come from him and a desire to live clean. He told me, it only “took” prison for him to get clean and that he was fortunate. I didn’t realize it at the time but he was fortunate.</p>
