Help for Families
Addiction affects the whole family. Here is how to help your loved one get treatment, and how to take care of yourself while you do.
How can I help a family member with addiction?
Call our admissions team before you talk to your loved one, so you know that a bed is available, insurance is verified, and a car can pick them up. Then have one calm, specific conversation focused on what you have seen and what you are offering. If they say no, set boundaries you can keep and try again. Our family program supports you throughout, whether or not your loved one enters treatment.
Key takeaways
- Yes. About half of our calls come from family.
- Yes. Our family program includes therapy and education for family members at every location, and continues after discharge.
- Set boundaries you can keep, consider a professional intervention, and keep the door open.
