Chances That She Is Still a Drug Addict?
Question by somewhat_med: Chances that she is still a drug addict?
I saw my ex best friend whom I haven’t seen in 2 years this past weekend. She told me she is a “recovered drug addict”, do drug addicts actually ever “recover”?
She was snorting coke, smoking crack, taking Oxycontins, Methadone and other various pain pills. She said she quit doing the drugs by going to NA meetings, but didn’t go to any treatment facilities or seek counseling. She says she has been clean for a year, but has a had a “couple” slip ups. She was acting extremely happy and energetic when I saw her, but she refused to look me in the face when she was speaking to me. I’m just wondering what are the chances that she really is clean, I always thought you had to detox, then go to rehab or something for a while to truly quit.
