@Actionjake less than 10% of all addicts (regardless of substance) even attempt recovery (ie abstinence) of those that try again about 10% achieve any long term sobriety

@SW-User Good to know. As a general total you may be correct. Heroin.......could never find a stat.

@Actionjake don't know in USA I know opioids are a real issue. In the UK though there's about 1 heroin death a week, about 3 times from the prescription replacements (debate whether therefore prescribed replacements are a crime reduction measure not a health improvement measure) but probably about 1 every 20 minutes from alcohol.
Also alcohol withdrawal can kill you I had one horrendous alcohol withdrawal fit once whereas opioid withdrawal whilst yuck will never kill you.
