1(800) 615-1067Getting help for someone with an addiction can be challenging, but there are several steps you can take to support your loved one in their journey towards recovery.
Talk to them: It can be helpful to start the conversation by expressing your concern and support for their well-being. Encourage them to seek professional help and offer to help them find resources and support.
Research resources: Look for local treatment centers, support groups, and mental health professionals who specialize in addiction treatment. You can also consult with your loved one’s healthcare provider or insurance provider for recommendations.
Offer support: Encourage your loved one to attend support groups, therapy, and other resources. Offer to accompany them to appointments or meetings and provide emotional support along the way.
Set boundaries: It is important to set boundaries with your loved one, such as refusing to enable their addiction or putting your own well-being at risk. Consider seeking support from a therapist or support group for yourself as well.
Encourage self-care: Encourage your loved one to practice self-care, such as getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, and engaging in physical activity.
Remember, addiction is a complex disease and recovery is a journey. It may take time and multiple attempts to achieve sobriety, but with the right support and resources, it is possible.
