How can I quit heroin with buprenorphine effectively?
My brother started smoking heroine and it has been over 6 months now. He wants to quit and made a few attempts but the withdrawals and lack of will power is not allowing him. He started taking buprex as medication to combat the withdrawals. What would be best course of action for him?

Quitting heroin can be extremely challenging, especially without proper support and guidance. Buprex can help manage withdrawal symptoms, but he needs to undergo a structured detox program and receive counseling to address the underlying issues contributing to his addiction. Your brother should consult a psychiatrist or a qualified addiction specialist for personalized treatment and support.
