Trying to Help a Friend With an Adderall Addiction, Help/Advice?

Question by Energetic Tomboy: Trying to help a friend with an Adderall Addiction, Help/Advice?
Hello,
I am a friend, of someone who just told me of his adderall addiction. Im worried about him and would like to help him. Ive been trying to learn all I can about the drug and addictions to it and types of Detox. I am NOT interested in sending him to a facility because he will not do it. I would like advice on helping him through his detox. He has been trying to quite and says he’s been going through withdrawl. Ive read that ‘cold-turkey’ is not good and can cause Deep Depression and even sucidal behaviors. Is there any advice you can give me to help him thru this tough time. He is trying to quite, but I can tell that with everything else going on in his life that it is and will be very difficult for him.
Please and Thanks.
