an Opiate-Addicted Relative
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:
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.
Talk About It
Don’t shy away from talking about 
the issue. However, it is best not to 
put blame on your loved one.
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.
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. 
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. 
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.
