Does anyone here know anything about heroin addiction?

I received some very upsetting news last night about an extended family member. She is addicted to heroin. Tragically, she just had her two-month-old baby taken from her by DYFS. Is there any hope for a heroin addict? I understand it's the most addictive form of drug use and most users cannot overcome it.

My daughter told me last night that it is the "drug of choice" in the younger set these days. For some reason that surprised me.

While I am concerned for this young woman, my biggest concern is for the baby, who I think would be better off being adopted and taken completely out of that environment.

I am going to google this, but your thoughts are always appreciated, especially if you have had any experience with someone like this.
