barbie, the scratching
and itching is a sign of opiate(,opium, morphine
and heroin) or opioid(vikes,norcos
and oxycodone)addiction. I use to itch my behind off when I was on methadone and/or norcos. It does sound like they need some serious help and are in deep.
They are lucky they have someone around that cares.sometimes people gotta hit rock bottom or get kicked in the face 20 times going cold turkey(me) before they realize , ITS JUST NOT WORTH IT !!!
