So my roommate’s friend from high school is a recovering drug addict.

My roommate decided, since she was homeless to take her in. Turns out she wasn’t just a recovering drug addict, she was still activly using (heroin). She ended up stealing $100 from me, $50 from one roommate, and $150 from another.
We spoke to her boyfriend, and found out she would kill herself if left in prison, but all she wants is rehab. But if she went to rehab, she would get what she wanted, and get away scot free, and we don’t want that. WE’re all basically wicke pi ssed! We want her punished, but we don’t want her to die, we want her better, but we do want her to pay for her crimes. Is there some sort of prison help that she could get. Where she was still in prison, but could somehow get some help?

we live in Mass btw if that helps.

PLEASE help us, we have someone’s life in our hands!

Someone’s life is worth WAY more than $300 bucks. As far as paying for her crimes, I bet her life is pure unmitigated misery…even when it might seem like she’s having a good time.

If she is really willing to change, focus on getting her the help that she needs. Start by getting her family involved. Hopefully they really care about her…then get her to rehab. After she gets out, she’s going to need to make new friends.

And by the way, kick the boyfriend in the groin a few times, and then tell him to get lost. He loves her a lot, I can tell.

News flash… drug addicts say whatever they need to say to stay out of jail where they can continue to use drugs. If they need to say that they want rehab in order to keep you from pressing charges, that is what they wills say. If you don’t press charges and she stays out of jail, who is going to pay for the rehab? It is very expensive! If she goes to jail, she may get some treatment there. You need to turn her in and let her pay for her crimes - she will detox in prison and maybe she can make a clear decision.
If you don’t send her to jail, you are suckers. And asking to be robbed again.
That’s what addicts do.
