  1. How to Avoid Negatively Enabling an Opiate-Addicted Relative

  2. Avoiding Negatively Enabling Relative It’s never easy to deal with drug addiction in family or friends. If you’re enabling your relative, that’s going to lead to even more problems. Here’s how to make sure that’s not what you’re doing:

  3. Look for Treatment Research an opiate dependence recovery program and facility that best fits your loved one’s needs. The sooner you get him the proper treatment, the sooner he can get back on the road to recovery.

  4. Talk About It Don’t shy away from talking about the issue. However, it is best not to put blame on your loved one.

  5. Read Up & Understand One of the first things you’ll have to do is to read up on the condition. Knowing what the condition entails and how it can completely change a person will help you understand your loved one, and his situation, better.

  6. Don’t Buy or Offer Drugs If your loved one tries to convince you that he deserves a hit before he’s been good all week, don’t fall for it. Curing them of the addiction doesn’t work that way.

  7. Work with An Counselor Many care and treatment plans include the assistance of a counselor. Make sure that’s included in your loved one’s program.

  8. Know That Relapse Is Normal In some cases, recovering addicts get discouraged when they suffer a relapse. Encourage them to keep up with their opioid addiction treatment. This will help motivate them to move past it sooner. Click here, for more information!
