If the person is physical hooked, this might not be difficult to establish. However, he may be in the early stages of his addiction. Some addicts will wait until they are " strung out". Using five or ten bags of heroin a day, before they will admit they are hooked. The drug addict will delay this admission as long as he possibly can.

The first step is "admit you are hooked". The addict is told:

(a) it doesn't matter whether you take off once a day of ten times a day

(b) Quit talking about a big habit or a little habit. You are either hooked or you're not hooked, so be honest.
