Getting Help for Drug and Alcohol Abuse

Overcoming addiction is a challenge that often requires family and friend support while in an environment such as residential rehab, intensive outpatient, counseling and group therapy.

Genetic Predisposition

The genes that people are born with, in combination with environmental influences account for about half of their addiction vulnerability. Additionally, gender, ethnicity, and the presence of other mental disorders may influence risk for drug abuse and addiction.

Healthy Boundaries

Setting boundaries with a recovering addict is the first step towards sobriety. Addicts often arrive at their current situation with very poor boundaries. Family and loved ones must not support any behavior that signals the addicts drug or alcohol abuse is acceptable, this includes providing money, food and shelter. Loved ones should let the addict know they have the support of positive behavior such as seeking help, entering rehab or meeting a counselor.

Drug abusers often try to conceal their symptoms and downplay their problem. If you're worried that a friend or family member might be abusing drugs, look for the following warning signs:
