He's been using cocaine for 20 years, has hit rock bottom, and wants to quit, but can't. His mother, who no longer lives in Catalonia since her retirement, has traveled over 800 kilometers to help him, as this isn't the first time she's tried unsuccessfully to quit.

He's sleepy all day and has no willpower whatsoever; the drug has consumed him," laments Paula, who doesn't want to give her real name to protect her privacy and that of her son. At the end of October, she contacted the Vilanova i la Geltrú Drug Addiction Treatment Center (CAS) to start treatment, but they haven't been given an appointment until March, and she doesn't know what will become of her son during these five months before he begins detoxification.
