Addiction Treatment Advice for Families and Friends

It’s important for family and friends to realise the critical role that they play in the addicted persons’ life, and in their recovery too.

It’s an absolute myth that addicts and alcoholics need to be self-motivated and entirely “ready for rehab” to benefit from treatment. The disease of addiction itself renders the victims of addiction to alcohol and other drugs less and less capable of a spontaneous recognition of the severity of their symptoms.

Deluded and resistant patients can recover without having to “hit rock bottom”.

The family and friends of a person addicted to alcohol or other drugs can either continue to enable the addictive behaviour and alleviate it’s consequences or begin to put the addicted person in a position where they have to acknowledge their illness and start to take responsibility for it.

It’s paramount to remember that crisis, rather than spontaneous insight, is often the key to recovery. As family and friends of the addicted person, you can do a lot to bring about the crisis that results in an admission to an addiction treatment centre for your loved one.

The purpose of an intervention is to present reality in a receivable way and is not a perfect scientific method. The insidious disease of addiction has the ability to confuse and delude those closest to the patient as well. Most often though, the addicted or alcoholic person is the last one to realise the magnitude of their problem.

It’s quite rare for an addictions treatment centre to be approached by the patient directly. It’s usually the patients family and friends that have had enough and force the patient to get some help.
