my roommate is using drugs and I don’t know how to help him
I know my roommate is using drugs, and I don’t know how to help him.
I know that he is using drugs.
His family doesn’t live here, and there really isn’t anyone close to him that I can reach out to. I feel like I’m the only person around who knows what’s going on, and I honestly don’t know what I’m supposed to do.
I don’t want to call the police or get him into legal trouble. My goal is to get him help, not punish him. At the same time, we live in the same house and I’m becoming concerned about both his safety and my own.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? What can you actually do when you know someone is using drugs and get help? Is there a service or organization I can contact for guidance without automatically involving law enforcement?
