I Need Help Researching Drug Addiction?

Question by jl: I need help researching drug addiction?
I’m writing a contemporary fiction story about homeless people. I would like to develop a character who has addiction problems. Is there anyone who can give a site where I can find info on it? I can look up drugs, no problem, but how it affects people, especially homeless ones doesn’t seem to have a lot of documentation.

Or if you have personal experience, you can e mail me through my profile. I am really trying to write a story that will stir people to help. I have already finished a first draft, it’s just that my characters seem flat, even to me.
