Professional Drug and Opiate Interventions In BC and Alberta
Used to be family members of those struggling with addiction were advised that the person who is addicted must reach rock bottom before they could begin getting better. This meant family members were forced to watch their loved one struggle with their addiction while waiting for rock bottom to arrive. It was believed that they would be wasting their time trying to help the addicted person until this point in the addiction process was reached.
Researchers view things differently today, and actually believe responding in this way could actually be harmful to the family and the addict. Not only does drug and alcohol abuse affect the addict, it also has a serious impact on the well-being of the addicted person’s friends and family. Having to watch a loved one struggle with their addiction can have serious health-related consequences for those involved.
If you live with someone who is struggling with addiction, you and your fellow family members could be at risk for stress related issues of your own. Today, professionals often recommend that family members have an intervention to help deal with addiction issues. When an intervention is done correctly, there’s a good chance the addict may finally be motivated to seek the treatment he or she needs. It also gives family members an opportunity to learn more about the disease of addiction, which could help them provide help to their loved as they travel down the path to sobriety.
You may be tempted to let the stigma of addiction stop you from seeking help for your addicted family member. Please don’t. Don’t allow the addict to suffer with this illness alone as you wait for him or her to hit rock bottom. Family members are supposed to look out for one another and offer help whenever they can, and it’s no different when dealing with addiction. Keep in mind, it’s not only the addict who is suffering and in need of treatment. Statistics show that an addict’s behavior effects as many as eight other people close to them. You may even be one of them. If you are, you understand how important the healing process is to bystanders as well as the addict.
