Nubain is pretty potent stuff. It's a agonist-antagonist mix which means it has properties that BLOCK opiate receptors as well. Unusual - I've not heard of abuse of this specific opioid. If he is using it IV- then he's pretty much hoooked - but there is hope. There are effects methods for detox including the medication Naltrexone along with drug counseling/therapy.

Hope this helps
Jerry
