Counseling for Friends & Family of Addicts
More often than not, drug addictions start with the experimental use of a drug in social situations. And for some people, drug use becomes more frequent. As time passes, a person may feel the need to use more of a drug to get their desired high, and soon a person may need the drug to simply feel “good.”
When we see this happen to a loved one, we do everything we can to help. But sometimes, our unconditional love simply isn’t enough.
Signs and symptoms of recent use include:
- The feeling of exhilaration and excess confidence
- Increased alertness
- Increased energy and restlessness
- Behavior changes or aggression
- Rapid or rambling speech
- Dilated pupils
- Delusions and hallucinations
- Irritability or changes in mood
If your loved one comes to mind with any of the above symptoms and behaviors, it may be time to consider what support you will need when your loved one is coping with their addiction.
We believe that there are many paths to support your loved one on a successful recovery and we work with the friends and family of addicts while they work on their goals in recovery. We help the friends and family of addicts to cope with the life changes they need and want to make. Contact us today for a free consultation.
