Helping a Loved One Avoid Relapse
Friends and family members of someone in recovery can form an invaluable support network. If you have a friend or family member in recovery, you should be aware of the potential for setbacks and the many ways in which they can occur. This knowledge can help you identify when someone has resumed drug or alcohol use and how to get proper medical help.
For people who want to know how to help someone avoid relapse, a good plan of action includes:
Showing love, support and understanding rather than expressing disappointment and anger
Avoiding being accusatory about someone’s relapse
Avoid labeling the person as flawed or at fault for their relapse
Staying hopeful and optimistic
In the case that someone experiences a relapse, their friends and family can:
Reassure them that they are not a failure
Remind them that setbacks are common and recovery is an ongoing process
Help them seek treatment again, if necessary
