A: Supporting a friend or loved one during addiction treatment can be a very difficult experience. It requires patience, understanding and a non-judgmental attitude, but also allows you to offer your support in a variety of ways.
Be sure to care for your own physical and emotional health during this period, as recovery can be a very trying time for all involved.
Al-Anon/Alateen is an excellent support resource for families and friends of those addicted to alcohol.
