There's different types of drug users. Almost everyone I knew whose done heroin was a polydrug addict. Some would quit but switch to another drug. One of them came out of rehab for heroin and started injecting cocaine. They were all running from something. It could be fear of the future (what do you do if nothing interests you in college, you're depressed and nothing sounds like a good path forward), or it could be other untreated mental disorders. Only one person I knew who was doing it back then got out a live. They were a weird case where they were getting a phd in neuroscience, a die hard Neon Genesis Evangelion fan, and I'd seen them bump a 2c in public more then once. Most of the rest when I heard about the OD I wasn't surprised, and the lingering question of if it was intentional or not sorta floated unspoken among the survivors. The deaths sorta came one right after another as their support group were all other users who unraveled as parts of the group fell away.
