Treatment and Recovery

Being here is the first step. You don’t have to recover from your addiction alone. Whatever your situation is, there’s always a way to get support without judgment.

Helping someone struggling with addiction?

Here’s how to start the conversation.

  • Choose the right time to talk.

    Be sure they are sober or have not been using.

  • Voice your concern.

    Tell them you are worried about them, without making accusations.

  • Avoid the of addiction.

    Words matter. For example, instead of calling someone an addict, say that they are struggling with addiction. This shows willingness to help.

  • Be specific.

    Explain what you’ve seen that concerns you (for example, finding missing pills, a change in appearance, or work/school performance getting worse).

  • Be prepared for strong reactions.

    They may accuse you of snooping or say you’re crazy. Stay calm.

  • Reinforce what you think about drug use and its dangers.

    Tell them how much you care for them.

  • Get help from the experts.

    If you want to talk to someone about how to get treatment for their addiction, there is help.
