For A Loved One
Watching someone you love struggle with drugs or alcohol is scary, confusing, and often overwhelming. You may not know what to say, how much to help, or when it is time to push for treatment.
How to Recognize a Problem
- Changes in mood, energy, or sleep that are hard to explain.
- Pulling away from family, friends, work, or school responsibilities.
- Money problems, legal issues, or risky behavior that feel out of character.
If these signs sound familiar, your loved one may be dealing with a substance use disorder, and getting professional help sooner rather than later can make a real difference.
How You Can Help
You cannot control your loved one’s choices, but you can learn how to respond in ways that support recovery instead of addiction. That may include setting clear boundaries, avoiding “rescuing” behaviors that enable use, and encouraging them to talk with a professional about treatment options.
Crest View Recovery Center offers evidence-based outpatient treatment, family involvement, and compassionate support to help your loved one take the next step toward recovery.
