Information for Families
Watching a loved one struggle with addiction is painful. LBCTS Long Beach Care is here to support the entire family through the recovery process.
How to Help a Loved One
If someone you care about is struggling with substance abuse, you can make a difference. Here is how to approach the situation:
- Educate Yourself: Learn about addiction as a disease. Understanding the science behind substance use disorders reduces stigma and helps you communicate more effectively.
- Express Concern with Compassion: Choose a calm moment to share your observations and concerns without judgment. Use "I" statements and focus on specific behaviors you have noticed.
- Set Boundaries: Loving someone with addiction does not mean enabling their behavior. Establish clear, consistent boundaries that protect your well-being.
- Offer to Help with Logistics: Offer to call LBCTS Long Beach Care at (209) 457-8644 together, help with insurance verification, or assist with arrangements for work, pets, or childcare.
- Consider a Professional Intervention: If direct conversation has not worked, a structured intervention led by a professional can be highly effective. Our admissions team at our Long Beach facility can connect you with intervention specialists.
