Aside from the horrifying sexual stuff, the forced heroin injection is nightmare fuel. Literally attempting to make his abuse be lifelong by causing her to become an addict. I hope she was at least able to overcome any physical addictions to that

He should have been charged with attempted murder IMO.

My hat is off the arresting officers in this case. I think if it was me he would have 'resisted arrest using a weapon' and my glock would have a few less rounds in it. I would probably be fucked up about it for the rest of my life too.
He tried to do something worse than murder. He tried to steal her life and turn her into an object.

I've heard of people doing that before and it's always the most vile of situations, the most disgusting abuse.

What I’m curious about is do people in those situations then have to go to rehab or do they just have to detox because they didn’t WANT for it to be in their body, so there was no mental aspect involved with withdrawing as there would be with someone who intentionally uses it

I'd think it would still require rehab as it changes the way your brain works. But yeah I don't know.

Maybe because it was pure, then?

Alcohol and heroin are a physical addiction.

You can die from stopping to use heroin. Either way; you are dead. If knowingly you use it; it’s suicide.

Nope, only alcohol (readily available) and benzodiazepines (usually prescribed) cause withdrawals that can kill, usually from seizure. For everything else, it’s mostly a mental struggle after the first week or so. But if you’re detoxing from serious, prolonged alcohol or benzo use, you should definitely seek a professional therapeutic environment. You might feel like you’re dying when you detox from heroin/opiates, but you really aren’t.

It’s actually possible to die from side effects related to withdrawal from opiates. Pure withdrawal in an otherwise healthy person, no, but someone with say myocarditis (common in IVD users) going through withdrawal will need careful management. As a HCP I know that pure alcohol/benzo withdrawal are the only two withdrawals that commonly kill, but it is still possible to die from opiate withdrawal and it’s important to distinguish that it should be medically managed as well.
ETA: This paper describes other common mechanisms of death during opiate withdrawal, namely vomiting and diarrhea.

No, you really can’t.
