Unfortunately, 3 out of 3 of my exboyfriends were cokeheads. The first one went to rehab after getting arrested for something else. He started using again right after. The second one HAD to get help because of suicide attempts/cutting. He won't go near it, and says his friends quit but I don't believe him. The third was clean the whole time we were together... all 2 months. As soon as he started working again, he started using again and said that he could quit whenever he wanted. Nevermind that he has a 7 year old son, and a felony drug (ecstacy) charge pending.
I think your best bet in helpnig them out is to try to spend a lot of time with them. I'm sure they know of all the bad things that can happen, but try to convince this person to get help. The place I'm interning at offers free outpatient guidance, but I think it might be on a referral basis. If this person doesn't want to get help, there's not much you can do. Afterall, the first step is admitting you have a problem, and obviously by asking you for help this person is. Now the next step is getting that help.
Good luck! I hope everything works out. Coke addictions are pretty hard to deal with.
