Forcing an addict to admit to a drug abuse treatment center is seldom successful unless they are instructed to do so by legal means, (arrests, etc.), Friends and families of people who need drug abuse treatment shouldn't necessarily wait for someone to hit "rock bottom" to act, and Pacific Hills drug treatment center offers these suggestions:

1. Stop making excuses to protect the addict; he or she needs to experience the full consequence of his addiction.
2. Timing is everything: the best time is to talk to the addict is shortly after a drug-related problem has occurred.
3. Be specific and tell your loved one that you are worried about his or her drug usage using examples that have caused problems.
4. State the results. Explain to the addict what you will do if he or she doesn't enter into drug abuse treatment, especially to protect yourself from the addict's problems.
5. Learn about drug abuse treatment and talk to intake counselors at a drug abuse treatment center like Pacific Hills to learn more.
6. Call on friends and family. If the family member still refuses to get drug abuse treatment, ask other friends or family members to review the previous steps. It often takes more than one person or more than one attempt to coax an addict into drug abuse treatment.
7. Find strength in numbers. With the help of a professional interventionist, friends and family can confront the addict as a group. Pacific Hills' drug abuse treatment center can assist with arrangements for a professional interventionist.
8. Get support. Please remember that you are not alone. Support groups offered in most communities help family members understand that they are not responsible for an addict's usage and that they need to take steps to take care of themselves. Al-Anon holds regular meetings for those significant people in an addict's life.
