How Can I Help a Friend with an Addiction?
If you know someone who is struggling with addiction, the best thing you can do for them is be caring and compassionate. Acknowledge that addiction is a disease, and try to encourage them to receive professional help at an accredited treatment facility. If your friend refuses to admit they have a problem, or don't believe they have an addiction, you may consider staging an intervention. An intervention is a gathering of friends and family who meet to persuade your friend to get treatment for their disease.
What If I Can't Afford Treatment?
If you're unable to afford treatment, check your insurance to see if they cover substance abuse treatment, and then make sure the facility of your choice will accept your insurance. If you don't have health insurance, some treatment facilities will allow you to make payments for your treatment.
Many states offer drug and alcohol treatment for free or at a low cost for those who qualify. Give us a call and we'll help you find a treatment center that works for you, and a plan you can afford. Also consider outpatient treatment, which is typically less expensive than inpatient care.
When you complete your rehab, you may want to consider joining a group meeting. Group meetings are a support system that introduces you to other recovering addicts just like you. You can also find a sponsor who will personally mentor you and help you on your path to sobriety. 12-step programs are also an option worth considering. 12-steps are based on the help of a higher power to overcome your addiction, and personal responsibility.
