It is tough to watch a loved one struggle with addiction. You want them to stop their behavior for their well-being, but they keep going back to their addictive ways time and time again. What can you do about this? Talking to your loved one about their addiction is difficult, but it can make an impact on treatment. For assistance talking to your loved one about getting addiction treatment, contact Red Oak Recovery today at 866.457.7590.

Make Sure No One Else Is Around

You don’t want to embarrass your loved one when you speak to them about their addiction. It is crucial to make sure no one else is in the vicinity when you do talk to them about their difficulties. A one-on-one conversation is a non-invasive way to get your loved one to listen to you in earnest.

Avoid Having Distractions During Conversation

When you talk to a loved one about addiction, make sure there are no distractions to hinder the conversation. Loud sounds and a lot of activity in the vicinity of the conversation make it challenging to convey your thoughts to your loved one. They will also be focusing their attention on the distraction rather than the points you want them to retain.

Be Gentle About The Subject Matter

Never be accusatory toward someone with an addiction. They are struggling with something that they are unable to stop on their own. Accusing someone when they have an addiction has adverse effects rather than a wish to stop the behavior. Do not yell. Do not ridicule.

Become A Trusted Source To Rely Upon

Someone with an addiction needs relationships with others where trust comes into play. If your loved one trusts you, you are a source they will come to when they have difficulty with their addiction. Be someone that will listen and provide constructive advice rather than someone to avoid when it comes to conversation.

Consider An Intervention In Some Instances

Intervention is not for everyone. If your loved one has many family members and friends that they care about, however, an intervention is an option to keep in mind. Make sure each person has a written “speech” to convey to the person with addiction, so they do not sway away from the points they want to share. Using their own words to let the person know they are cared for and worried about often has an impact that leads toward going through with an addiction treatment program.

Use An Addiction Treatment Program As An Incentive

When speaking to someone with an addiction, be sure to bring up the positive points associated with going through an addiction treatment program. Offer to visit an addiction treatment facility with the person, so they are not alone with the exploration of possible treatment options. Research different addiction treatment programs in your area or an area you believe the person with addiction would enjoy spending time. This way, you will be able to offer information on the spot to help encourage the person to seek treatment.
