He would never go to rehab. He has been doing this drug for 25 years.

Considering the large amount of money being spent, the most probable answer would be cocaine, although heroin is also a possibility. Drug addicts often neglect their health, and their eating habits are included in this. That would account for the skinny appearance. Although coke and meth users often have the skeletal look, it is also common among heroin users. There is the possibility that the individual is poly-addicted, maybe using "speedballs", a dangerous combination of coke, and heroin. Regardless of the substance(s) being used, quite simply, the individual suffers from addiction. Withdrawl could require hospitalization, depending upon the substance(s), and quantities being used. Chemical dependency counseling would be recommended, as would participation in a a recovery program, such as Narcotic Anonymous. An internet search for NA could put you in touch with a local group, and the individuals who may be able to help you.

Could be anything? Most of the time, addicts stop eating and spend more money on their drugs. There are lots of drugs and even combinations of drugs that he could be taking. Many of them cause loss of appetite or the person just has no interest in anything besides a constant fix.

Anything from Cocaine to crack to prescription pain pills. Oxycontin on the street can run you 80 dollars a pill. Most abusers will eat very little so the medicine doesn't get absorbed in the food.

Cocaine.
It MIGHT be alcohol, but that would tend to make someone put on weight. And besides, if he was drinking $500 worth of booze every day, I don't think his liver would last long.

sounds like heroin to me. you could spend a lot more than that on rock or powder cocaine.500 worth of meth and you wouldn't even see him,he'd be just a blur.(or dead)Oxycontin is a possibility,or even hydrocodone,but his liver will be damaged by the buffer.

It sounds like crack to me. Doing $500 of heroin a day would kill you real quick. Dont give this person money because you are contributing to their death if you do. Get them help quick!

I am no doctor but it sounds like he is on meth. If he is you need to see about getting him checked into a rehab before he kills hisself.
