Einstein - Substance abuse effect on family members

When a loved one has a substance abuse problem, family members suffer too. Instead of helping and protecting the addict, the family's action may wind up encouraging his or her behavior.

If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, you may be in denial about the situation. Remember that addiction is a family disease, and there's nothing wrong with admitting it.

Have you tried to shield your loved one from the consequences of his or her actions?
Do you blame yourself for his or her drug or alcohol problem?
Have you avoided social situations for fear of being embarrassed?
Have you tried and failed to convince your loved one to change?
Do you make excuses for his or her behavior and lie to others about it?
Have you gone out of your way to pay his or her delinquent bills or bailed him/her out of jail?
Have you threatened to leave, but keep backing down?

At Belmont Behavioral Health, we can help you get your life back together and find ways to get your addicted family member on the road to recovery. Through group therapy and support meetings, you can openly discuss the situation with others who are struggling with similar problems. We can help you rediscover your self-esteem and lose your sense of helplessness.

When you need someone to talk to, turn to Belmont Behavioral Health at 1-800-220-HELP (4357) or 215-877-2000.
