I was involved in an intervention last year, but this was with a young person and I think we were lucky as the person had hit a point where he wanted out. So far so good, but there are no guarantees.
I have a cousin who has been addicted to heroin for years. The family avoids him because he is just bad news and bites the hand that feeds him. Otherwise he's a likeable guy or I mean a really good liar and con artist. I'd sit down and have a beer with him but I wouldn't give him my address,etc.
