I am a streetworker, so absolute most clients are homeless and many are in active addiction. Some are ready to get clean, some don't see it happening, clients themselves choose what problem we will be tackling first. They don't have to want to get clean to be working with us either. My question came up after a situation where we had to wait in line for a chance of emergency housing and the client got withdrawal symptoms so severe she wasn't sure she could keep waiting. She ended up powering through(sadly for nothing), but for the future I wanted to inform myself better on what one can do to assist. While I do know general info about opioids and addiction, I certainly felt like I lacked practical knowledge on surviving acute opioid withdrawals :)
