When Should a Family Consider Rehab for a Loved One?

When Should a Family Consider Rehab for a Loved One?

Family members are often the first to notice warning signs. Consider reaching out if you observe:

  • Failed efforts to reduce or stop using by themselves
  • Physical withdrawal symptoms (tremors, sweating, irritability) when not using
  • Health problems or declining performance at work or in interpersonal relationships
  • Denial of the seriousness of the problem despite evident consequences
  • Problems in the legal, financial, or safety realm related to substance abuse

What Happens During Admission

Admissions start with a private evaluation of the patient’s history with substances, as well as their physical and psychological state. Depending on the results of the evaluation, the doctors determine whether the patient requires supervised detoxification prior to therapy. The family is informed about the process early enough for them to realize how long recovery might take.

Supporting Recovery at Home

Supporting Recovery at Home

Once a patient returns home, family behavior plays a major role in preventing relapse:

  • Do not have alcohol or anything that can cause triggers around the house.
  • Encourage follow-up therapy appointments, as continued support plays an important role in long-term recovery.
  • Be aware of early symptoms of a relapse such as mood swings, lying or withdrawal.
  • Help in establishing healthier habits (physical activity, healthy hobbies, a strict schedule).
  • Do not point fingers or shame them as that tends to drive patients towards substance abuse.
