Family & Friends

Nothing is more painful then watching someone you love and care about destroy themselves with alcohol or drugs.  Drug abuse and alcohol addiction can devastate families and ruin lives.

We work with parents, spouses, partners or friends who are looking to get help for someone they really care about.

People help People

People often start treatment as a direct result of an intervention by those closest to them

Research shows that an alcoholic’s or drug addict’s success in treatment is strongly influenced by the family’s attitude and response to the illness.

Families Need Help Too

Family members feel the biggest impact when someone they love and care for is destroying themselves.  Help and support is available for them too, so they can start to look after themselves rather than focusing on the person with the alcohol or drug problem.

Most private alcohol and drug rehab centres include the cost of specialist family help and programmes as part of the overall treatment.

There are national support groups such as Al-Anon and Families Anonymous which hold meetings throughout the UK. They provide information and support to family members and friends of alcoholics and drug addicts.
