When a Loved One Has a Drug Problem

loved-one-addicitonIf you suspect that a friend or family member has a problem with drug addiction, here are a few things you can do:

Speak up

Do not be judgmental and speak to the person about your concerns and offer your help and support. The earlier you start treating the addiction, the brighter are the chances of recovery. Do not wait till your loved one hits the bottom, instead speak with him and try to rehabilitate immediately.

Take care of yourself

Do not ignore your health while taking care of your dear one who has been caught in the drug abuse problem. Ensure that you have people whom you can talk to and lean for help. Also, be safe and do not put yourself into dangerous situations while helping the prescription drug abuser.

Avoid self-blame

You can help the drug abuser to get rid of his habits by rendering professional help but you cannot force the person to change. You also cannot control the abuser’s decisions, so best is to allow him to take his own decisions and change by his own will and accept responsibility for his actions. This is an essential step towards recovery.




It is a difficult phase when you realize someone close to you has been abusing prescription drugs. The best thing that you can do at this time is to keep up the faith that things will fall into its place and try and comfort the patient to the fullest. Do not make him feel guilty of committing a crime instead let him know that help is available and that he can get rid of his abuse.
