    It is very difficult to do on your own. A very close person to me was a crack addict, has been to rehab more than once and it was the only way to make him stop for a while. He is off it now and I hope he stays that way. He used “Rivea” for a while, a medicine to block the receptors of cocaine effect and I think he was on anti-depressants too.

    my name is Patrick i am a recovering alcoholic and crack addict! i have a little over 3months clean n sober! alcoholics anonymous made this possible people know i was so bad I’m a walking miracle! the best way to recover is to start with a 5 too 10 day detox program then 21days of formal treatment! this makes things alot easier although its not a must! the only way the vast majority of use work the twelve step recovery program of either aa or narcotics anonymous! you have to attend regular meeting and get a sponsor to guide your recovery! the first step is to admit you have a problem and a willing to go too any length too stay clean n sober both programs are listed in the phone book make the call they will see to it that you get too a meeting if a rehab is not possible for financial or lack of insurance reasons! their are quite a few free treatment centers but they are few n far between! god luck n god bless you Patrick f.
