I agree with you, i hope he doesnt have the worst kind of heroin and then I hope he doesn't get some and not know it. It scares me to think about mixing fentanyl or as you mentioned above the even stronger Carfentanyl. I though about what you had told me how we we're kind of the first of the people (around that time and age group) who brought on this horrible opiate problem. Like you I feel blessed to have gotten out in time.
@CMMW, have you thought about getting him to try Suboxone?
If he's against that, and I know what I've said and I still stand behind it, but in this case maybe methadone might be a very short term answer it will help his mind clear up enough to go to Suboxone hopefully. However, if he just replaces one for the other - methadone, then its still not of much help. But I'm just throwing it out as an option, I don't know if he's been told about these new and increasing dangers of heroin, if not I would tell him, but that's just me and I don't know what your situation is.
Might though tell him and tell him that that's another reason you want him to quit. I looked up the Carfentanyl and not hardly any chance of living if you inject even like what could fit on the tip of a toothpick. Then offer those two heroin replacement therapy options. Being sure to encourage him he won't have horrible W/D's with Suboxone or if he must, methadone.
Just an idea.
But he sure sounds like if he gets help soon there's hope for him to be a fine man.
