What Do I Do When My Loved One Has a Substance Abuse Problem?
Many people feel overwhelmed and distraught when they realize their loved one is suffering from a substance abuse problem.
They are often unsure of how to provide the safe and caring help their loved one needs and do not know who they can turn to for assistance.
The below guidance will help you begin the process of getting your loved one the help they deserve for their substance abuse problem:
Educate Yourself on Substance Abuse
Taking the time to educate yourself on substance abuse and the reasons why people slip into this habit will help you gain a better understanding of what your loved one is suffering through.
The National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Drug Abuse provides a vast amount of resources on drug abuse and addiction.
Try to Talk to Your Loved One
Though it may be difficult, it is important to try to have an open and honest conversation with your loved one about their substance abuse problem.
People suffering from substance abuse will commonly deny they have a problem and may become aggressive or confrontational.
Be patient with your loved one, show that you are coming from a place of caring and not from a place of condoning, and provide them with resources on how to start their road to recovery.
In some cases, you may need a more organized intervention to get through to your loved one.
Seek Professional Help
Many people struggle to help their loved ones get the care they need when they approach the problem alone.
Having a team of compassionate and well-versed professionals on your side will help set you and your loved one up for the best case of success in starting their road to recovery.
At Robinson & Casey, PLLC, our compassionate team is experienced in helping our clients use the Marchman Act to provide their loved ones with the safe help they deserve.
The Marchman Act allows you to petition the court to seek help for your loved one who has a substance abuse problem. It provides the opportunity to receive emergency substance abuse services and temporary placement for evaluation while you explore treatment plans for your loved one.
