Question by Adrian Cage: How can I help my friend who is already dependent into drugs?
I think he has prescription drugs addiction and he is also an alcohol addict. Is there a way for him to recover from these problems?

Best answer:

Answer by Christie Stephanie
Both prescription drugs and alcohol addiction can be serious and deadly diseases because it destroys the ones health and wellness. I advise that your friend has to undergo a dual diagnosis treatment which I believe takes a long term to finally overcome those addictions.
