What kind of drug addiction does this sound like?

Can you answer >_<'s question about Addiction?:

Ran off with $200,000, spends about $500 a day to maintain his addiction and the last time anyone saw him, he was so skinny that he looked like a skeleton.
He would never go to rehab. He has been doing this drug for 25 years.

    Addiction Feedback: 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.

    Addiction Feedback: could be just about anything, but I would guess it’s either coke or smack. but anyone doing $500 bucks’ worth of smack a day is going to be dead in, like, one day, so I’m veering toward coke.

    Addiction Feedback: 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!

    Addiction Feedback: 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.

  18. jennypenny on July 3rd, 2009 12:07 am

  19. Barbara L on July 5th, 2009 10:13 pm

    Addiction Feedback: meth / crystal / speed, coke, crack, crank ups, with herion downs. i answered a simular question a couple weeks ago. it was called ” how can you tell if some on is on drugs” or something close to that. i gave alot of signs of different kinds of drugs, addiction, and withdrawl symtoms. maybe you can search it. 25 years of drug abuse, he’s doing old school drugs. i doubt if it is crack, or crank. but all the others fit. mostly coke, and herion.

    Addiction Feedback: Sounds like Meth to me.

  21. mmatt314 on July 7th, 2009 10:50 pm

    Addiction Feedback: could be gambling. check for other signs such as hanging out with a new group of friends or other signs of physical detioration, not just weight loss. small OR dilated pupils. the shakes. excessive fidgetting. whatever it is they need help fast.

  22. RAY C on July 8th, 2009 7:00 pm

    Addiction Feedback: 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.

  23. Indian woman on July 9th, 2009 12:41 pm

    Addiction Feedback: Coke or Crack most likely coke

  24. Jay U on July 12th, 2009 9:23 pm

    Addiction Feedback: codiene and promathetazine.

    Addiction Feedback: 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.

    Addiction Feedback: 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.

    Addiction Feedback: COCAINE….

    Addiction Feedback: 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.
