Methadone Detox: Resolved Question: First Night Detoxing From Heroin?

Resolved Question: First night detoxing from heroin?
I brought a family member to detox today, it was his first time ever trying to get help from an outside source. Needless to say I was very hopeful, and happy. It was nerve wracking to drop him off in a different town, at a strange place, and I’m sure it was even more nerve wracking for him. He lasted about 4 hours. He called me VERY upset. and I called his girlfriend, because I was worried (as was she) that his enabler and dealer, was going to be the one to go pick him up. So his girlfriend went and got him. He took a first step, something we thought he would never do. He wants to stop. My question to everyone is this: Statistically, how common is it for people to, not make it through, their first night of detox???? That is all I want to know. If I get that answered and maybe some helpful suggestions, that would be amazing. I can’t even explain how happy I was to see even just a “baby step” But I would be so happy if He went a little further, as long as it too, for him to be sober, and not dead. <3 Yahoo!
