Addiction is a disease that almost always affects more than one life. Loved ones of a person with an addiction know that that person’s drug or alcohol dependency impacts them as well. Consequently, we tell the people we work with at our detox in Sacramento that it’s crucial that family and friends support the person as they work toward recovery, but that they take care of themselves as well.
Provide Support from a Place of Strength
As flight attendants tell us every time we travel on a plane, in an emergency, you must put your own oxygen mask on before helping others with theirs. The same thing applies to supporting a person with an addiction. You must take care of your own physical, mental, and emotional health so that you have the strength and the focus to help your loved one through this challenging time. Here are some things you can do to be in the best position to provide assistance:
You Can Make it Through This
Helping a loved one make it through detox in Sacramento and ongoing recovery won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. And you can do it! If you have questions about our programs, please call us at (800) 205-6107.
