Addiction , Heroin history taking station

I close the door, keep the voice low and steady "What we say stays here, until you are ready." But safety comes first, yeah, that’s the deal Now tell me the truth, tell me how does it feel? Are you chasing the Heroin? Or pills from the shelf? Are you smoking the foil? Or injecting yourself? From the nose to the vein, how did the tolerance climb? How much cash are you burning? How long has it been... since the very first time? Is it street gear or diverted? Who’s holding the supply? Are you stealing to fund it? No judgment, don’t lie. Are you engaging in things that bring you deep shame? We’re just mapping the sorrow, we're not here to blame. Do you Inject? Tell me, show me the site! Is it the arm, or the groin, or the neck in the night? Collapsed veins, abscesses, tell me, is the needle clean? Have you tested for Hep C? Do you know what I mean? Have you Overdosed? Did the darkness descend? Did you need Naloxone to bring back your friend? Don't Use Alone—that’s a gamble too high, We need Harm Reduction so nobody dies! When the stash runs dry, does the sickness begin? The "Cold Turkey" goosebumps all over your skin? Muscle aches, runny nose, the vomiting starts, I’m checking your liver, your lungs, and your heart. Any cough from the smoking? Any fever or chills? (Watch out for Endocarditis and those bacterial ills). Have you eaten a meal? You look thin in the face, Let’s pause for a moment in this confidential space. I gotta ask about the law—probation or court? Do you have a safe roof? Or is housing falling short? And the heavy question, the one we can't hide... Do you have any children? Who is standing by their side? (Safeguarding!) But why are you here? What’s the spark for the change? We can stabilize the chaos, rearrange the range. Have you heard of Methadone? Or Buprenorphine too? Opioid Substitution could be the path for you. It stops the withdrawal, clears the fog from the head, We can write a referral, get you treatment instead. It’s a medical condition, not a moral sin, I see you’re a survivor... let the healing begin.
