How to approach a Friend who is abusing Drugs or Alcohol
When approaching your friend with the topic of their drug or alcohol consumption, it is imperative that you follow a sensitive, non-judgmental approach. By judging them or heavily promoting addiction treatment from the offset, you will push them further into their addictive behaviours.
With this in mind, this is the time to listen, support and offer rational advice regarding addiction recovery. Once you have further knowledge of your friend’s experience with drugs and alcohol, now is the time to consider support through a local drug and alcohol rehab facility.
This is where our friend referral rehab service comes into play, supporting the potential for early intervention. We can listen to your concerns, while promoting the most effective treatment services with state of the art equipment and world leading medical personnel at our specialist addiction recovery hospital. This information can then be communicated to your friend, helping to inspire the thought of sobriety.
Please remember that this information may initially be unwelcomed. It’s important to have patience when approaching your friend. Addiction recovery can take some time to achieve.
Likewise, the acknowledgment of an addiction can be lengthy. It’s about doing what you can, alongside our support through our friend referral rehab service.
