Opioid Interventions In Alberta And BC
In the past, family members of addicts were told to wait until the addict hit rock bottom before they addressed the issues of addiction and how it was affecting the addict and the rest of the family. They were told that this was the best way to go about getting the person into treatment and that the person wouldn’t accept treatment until they reached that point.
According to research, today, this is done differently and the way that it was previously done could be harmful to both the family, as well as the addict. Not only would the alcohol and drugs affect the addict adversely, it could also affect their family and friends. The very act of watching a person spiral downward could be seriously damaging to a person’s health and wellbeing.
Living with someone who is an addict or alcoholic can be seriously damaging to everyone involved. It can cause serious stress-related issues that may cause other health concerns. Today, the professionals recommend that an intervention take place to address the issues of the addict and how it affects everyone else. When done the right way, there is a chance that the addict might be motivated to seek the proper treatment. It can also help the family and friends of the addict to learn more about the disease of addiction and how they can help to right their lives.
It may be very tempting to sweep addiction underneath the rug and hide it from the world. The truth is, addiction thrives in such an environment where it’s kept secret. Don’t hide it. Don’t let the addict continue to suffer while you wait for them to hit their rock bottom. As family and friends know, it can be heart-wrenching to watch from afar. Besides, a family should watch out for one another and deliver help whenever possible. The addict isn’t the only one that is suffering, the entire family is suffering and the addict’s behavior affects the entire family. You may be in such a family. If you are, you already know how important it is to heal and not stand by as a bystander to addiction. Will you be the one to reach out?
