Families That Deal With Drug And Alcohol Addiction

By Monique Astors


Drug and alcohol addiction has gotten so popular in the United States that a lot of families are asking themselves how one can become sober. Sobriety is never easy to deal with and neither is addiction. Families often go through stages in which they want the addict out of the house and away from the children. However, addicts often know that they need help and can seldom find it. Today, addicts face a growing problem of getting into treatment. You need to have a lot of recovery taking place when it comes to addiction. Many addicts say that in order to get sober, they have to go through a treatment program.

Families today are often asking the question, "Why?" Why must I deal with my family member having an addiction? Heroin addiction is at an all-time high. Many children today that are under the age of 18 are using heroin. It is often cheap to buy at only $10.00 a hit. The pain and suffering that a parent feels is enormous. Many kids today are overdosing on drugs and often see no help coming from a rehabilitation treatment center. You may ask yourself why this is all happening. It could be because too many drugs are finding their way across the border. Border patrol has to do a better job in order to see that these drugs don't make it into America.

Many drugs today are manufactured in Mexico. I am talking about illegal drugs like meth, cocaine, heroin and molly. You will find that these drugs are making it into the United States at alarming rates. They are being widely distributed in white middle class suburbs. It is uncertain as to why these areas are targeted the most. State like New York, Florida and New Jersey seem to have higher amounts of heroin coming into the states. In order to combat this, more treatment has to be given.

It is important to have a plan of action in order to combat this in your own family. For starters, call a treatment center and ask them how you can help your loved one. Verify with the medical biller that your loved ones insurance can be taken at that facility. If it cannot be taken, find a rehab that does accept the insurance. It is important to take things easily. One day at a time often works. Most people do not understand entirely how the process works. However, staying informed helps you and a family member to get help. Hope is just around the corner and often is less complicated as you learn what to do.

If you are like me, you want to help your family member to recover and get well. It is best to come together as a family and discuss what needs to happen in order to have the addict get help. Help only happens when you feel like it's important to receive it. There is lot of psychological issues going on with someone that takes drugs. Often, addicts were molested or abused and are trying to run from their pain. Drugs are often an easy outlet for someone that is struggling with an addiction. There is not addiction that cannot be helped. It is important to have an intervention for your loved one ASAP. Their life is depending on it as each day passes.
