I wrote a comment in another story[0] about ibogaine, a psychedelic that is reportedly being used very successfully to treat addiction. If you haven't heard of it, you may want to investigate it since you are clearly doing a lot for your friend. In short, it stops heroin withdrawal symptoms upon ingestion, and with a single guided treatment plus a week of time at the center, it can effectively cure an addiction. It's theorized that in addition to the neurochemistry involved in soothing the nervous system, the fact that it's a psychedelic tends to help the patient face the underlying cause of the addiction, giving them the tools to treat it instead of papering it over with drugs.
