slow withdrawal.. he should start by reducing the quantity he takes gradually till he stops taking eventually.

a 3 months withdrawal plan is perfect

Firstly for you to have summoned the courage to approach him.. Then you should be the first person to help him stop.
Stay close to the person, tell him about life, the effect of what he is doing...
Then try to make him socialize with responsible people, people who would influence him positively.
If you are a Muslim tell him about Qua'ran
And If you are a Christian draw him closer to God.
He has discovered he needs help so you should be able to help him.

what kind of KUSH? Is it INDICA OR SATIVA ?
Re: Nairalander Needs Help To Stop Drug Abuse & Addiction by Dannylux: 10:09am On Nov 05, 2013
Well, now someone mentioned it..

There are several other addictions which many people are victims of and are to ashamed to talk about it like Sex, watching pornooo, inability to stay loyal in a relationship(this can be addictive too), staying up late at night and the internet addiction isn't excluded!

Y'all should contribute reasonably!! I believe it's equivalent to doing the victims a favour.

1
Decide that you do really want to stop using drugs. Unless you have the desire to change you will never be able to.
2
Be completely honest with yourself and others. Your chances of recovery are not good if you cannot face yourself and deal with confrontations from others.
3
Join a website like Recovery Social network www.recoverysocialnet.com This website has a lot of supportive people that are also in recovery and really want to help you stay clean. There is also a lot of great recovery information. You can start your own profile add pictures connect with other people in recovery, and even start your own blog! Recovery social network is an invaluable tool for staying clean.
4
Be patient with yourself. It usually takes at least three months before significant improvement occurs, so don't give up if you don't get instant results.
5
Remove influences that enable your drug use from your life.
6
Avoid relying on someone to stop doing drugs with you, as he or she may not have the willingness to change. You must be willing to stop spending time with people who use drugs, and to avoid temptation. Learn to walk away from those that insist on using or talking about using in front of you. It may require you to be alone for a while or find a whole new set of friends to hang out with. It will shock you to find out how much healthier your friendships will be once you are not using drugs to smooth out the rough spots.
7
Stock up on nutritious, easy-to-eat foods such as soup to keep your strength up while clucking (going through withdrawal). Be especially sure to focus on your protein intake. This will help keep your blood sugar level stable, which in turn helps keep your mood on an even keel.
8
Find a group in your local area such as Narcotics Anonymous or SMART Recovery. It will help you deal with the issues that come up when stopping drugs. Narcotics Anonymous is not actually specific to narcotics - users of all kinds of drugs, including marijuana, attend Narcotics Anonymous. Recovering users of all kinds are also welcome at open meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous. SMART Recovery helps addicts learn to abstain from drugs, alcohol, and addictive behaviors using self-management techniques, and may be a good alternative for people who do not feel comfortable with 12-step groups.
9
Get in touch with a reliable friend who does not take drugs, if you have one. Ask him or her to stay with you to help out while you go through the worst of your withdrawal.
10
If you feel you cannot deal with withdrawal by yourself, then see a doctor or go to a hospital emergency room.
11
Write down a list of things you enjoyed doing before you started using drugs or things you've been interested in doing that you haven't done yet. Drugs have been a big part of your life and it will be easier for you if you plan ahead to fill the void that their absence will create.
12
Identify your triggers, which are people, places, things, events, activities, emotions, times, dates etc., that make you think of using; therefore placing you at a higher risk of using. After you identify your triggers, avoid them.
13
Identify your relapse warning signs, which are changes in your behaviors and/or attitude that signal a chance that you are close to using.
14
Educate yourself on the dangers to your mind and body.
15
Find a support system. Attend AA/NA, Self-support systems have been proven to be helpful for those that are in recovery. Other forms of support are family and friends that currently are not using.
16
Make a list of health goals and read it every day.
17
Develop a crisis plan.
18
Develop and use positive self talk.
19
Find healthy activities to replace drug usage.
20
Focus on your health and taking care of your family.
21
Realize that you are not the only person struggling with this.

Slow withdrawal,
Keep busy with more important stuffs

Re: Nairalander Needs Help To Stop Drug Abuse & Addiction by HoliSmoosh(f): 10:13am On Nov 05, 2013
Overcoming addiction is a simply a
matter of willpower. Prolonged exposure to
drugs alters the brain in ways that result in
powerful cravings and a compulsion to use.
These brain changes make it extremely difficult
to quit by sheer force of will...
Once you’ve made the decision to challenge your
drug addiction, it’s time to explore your
treatment choices. Remember:
There’s no magic bullet or single treatment
that works for everyone. Everyone’s needs
are different. Drug addiction treatment
should be customized to your unique
problems and situation.
Treatment should address more than just
your drug abuse. Treatment success depends
on developing a new way of living and
addressing the reasons why you turned to
drugs in the first place. It may have been
because of an inability to manage stress, in
which case you’ll need to find healthy ways to
handle stressful situations.
Commitment and follow-through are key.
Drug addiction treatment is not a quick and
easy process. In general, the longer and more
intense the drug use, the longer and more
intense the treatment you’ll need.
There are many places to turn for help. Not
everybody requires medically supervised detox
or an extended stint in rehab. In addition to
doctors and psychologists, many clergy
members, social workers, and counselors offer
addiction treatment services.
As you seek help for drug addiction, it’s also
important to get treatment for any other medical
or psychological issues you’re experiencing. This
means getting combined mental health and
addiction treatment from the same treatment
provider or team. Hope this would help?

The name of the thread should be modified since the person involved in the act is not a nairalander.

That said, the first step to ever addiction is determination. Is your friend ready to quit the act? If yes, then he should start by reducing the account of drugs he uses each day.
Just like self-servicing, he MUST learn how to reduce the quantity he uses or how many times he engage himself in it each day. He could start by spending time with people and try not to be alone as that will make he feel like using the drugs. Also, if he have friends that do same, he should reduce the number of time he visit them. Or better stil, quit the relationship.

Secondly, If he is a student who is at home because of ASUU's strike, he should find something doing that will keep him busy. As in, he should either look for work or pick up a new hobbie like writing stories, joke, poems e.t.c.

Thirdy, he should seek for advise from people who were once like him and also put it in Prayer.
