When a friend, roommate or significant other is struggling with a drug addiction, you may feel trapped in the cycle of drug abuse and emotional pain. While you cannot control your friend’s actions, you can help end addiction. We can support you and give you quality information on how to help your friend.
Our Helpline Can Support You and Offer Treatment Information
If you know someone who is struggling with drug use, please call us for direct support. Our experienced and caring recovery professionals can answer your questions regarding rehab programs, how to handle an addicted friend and how to talk with an addicted person or family member about recovery. Our counselors can assist and guide you every step of the way.
Arranging an Addiction Intervention for a Friend or Loved One
The hardest part for both drug users and friends of those with addictions is to pick up the phone and talk to someone that can help. There is no reason to worry. Our caring and trained staff members can guide you through recovery and provide you with information and referrals for interventionists and other recovery services. An interventionist can help in the following ways:
- The interventionist can help end addiction denial, as many drug users deny they are abusing drugs and alcohol or are not willing to admit to a need for help
- Interventionists help select and coordinate a rehab program
- Interventionists get the addicted person to the rehab facility immediately
- Interventionists are trained to ensure that the process is carried out smoothly, effectively and in full confidentiality.
