Dear lybrate user. I can understand. Substance addiction comes under SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ADDICTION. Deaddiction treatment is best suited for such addictions. Medically assisted drug detoxification or alcohol detoxification alone is ineffective as a treatment for addiction. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) recommends detoxification followed by both medication (where applicable) and behavioral therapy, followed by relapse prevention.

I am not sure who got you hooked onto sleeping pills, that too so heavy dose of alprazolam. On a longer run, they will shrink your brain, resulting in early onset dementia, personality changes, memory changes, even withdrawal seizures. Kindly consult a psychiatrist, get your sleep evaluated, and he will gradually wane you off the sleeping pills and give pills which promote sleep by acting on the cause of sleep disturbance, he may also educate you on sleep hygiene.

You can try talking to him and get him thinking. Don't antagonize him. Give subtle examples of how people die of alcohol, drugs. You cannot do anything until he himself decides these things are wrong. Never force him.

Hello lybrate-user
if you wish to stop opium which is not legal internationally to consume. You do not worry.
You can stop opium and can take ost initially. Ost is legal in most of the countries and approved including India. I can help you and guide you if you prefer to and also help keep your privacy should you really want.
You should if you want peaceful days ahead without any withdrawals or mood and cravings.
You may wish to contact me.

hello.
i would recommend in-patient setting (admission) in such a case for detoxification and further management.
you have to also decide whether you want Harm reduction strategies or complete abstinence because future success depends on this decision of yours. also being in regular therapy sessions (MI/MET/ NA meetings) help stay sober for a longer period of time.
best luck
thanks
