It's a really quiet house, the guy goes to school during the day and comes home at night. He hasn't started using yet, we don't have any parties and there's a deadbolt lock on my door. Should I still be worried?

If your roommate looks like he's still taking care of his hygene ,is working,doing his school work,and still owns all his own valuables. I wouldn't worry. Everybody hears the horror stories of heroin addiction but never hear about the functioning addicts who are just like everyone else.

That is true but the risk will always been there. Opioid addiction will get worse over time, some people can hide it better than others, for a period of time, but everyone will eventually crack such as due to tolerance or money issues.

I supported myself and my gf while doing abiut 60 mg a day of oxycodone probablu 5 or 6 days of the week without stealing or doing more and more a day.  I did that for about 3 years for some reason never really went over 60 mg mark.  I didnt make a ton of money at the time but eventually I stopped using that stuff and started using kratom instead.  It definitley helped my bank account instead if living g paycheck to paycheck while on it I was able to save.

People act like anyone who touches the stuff turns into a thieving junkie. And in some cases that does happen.  But in no way does it happen to everyone who uses.  I know alot of former users who never stole, held down a steady job, and we're generally good people.  But I also know alot of people who used and have turned into thieving junkies.  Those people where kind of shady before they even used though.Regardless of what people say on here people can use responsibley.  I think most people with strong moral values and a good head on their shoulders can use opiates responsibley. 

Having said all that since you don't really know this person I would definitley lock your valuables up.  User ot not he could be a thief.  Have you thought about putting a camera in your room? Perhaps a nanny cam type thing.  That way if anything does get stolen you have legal recourse against them.
