Does anyone have any first hand experience with getting to admit he/she is using and getting them off of it.
Is this an addiction that can be kicked?
This is beyond my knowledge or experience and the parents are distraught.

If this is serious, and I expect it is, then screw the bullshit that you're reading on here and seek a prefessional. I don't have personal experience with anything as heavy as this, but I have friends that have been in similar (lesser) situations. Mainly, they (the user) have to be ready to admit their addiction and make the moves to quit. You can never make anyone quit anything. I've found that phychiratrists (spelling) are very good at making progress to the goal of admitting addiction. The rest is down-hill from there.
Hope everything turns out ok... Prayers are with you and your friend.
