The cloud of shame and fear that so often surrounds addiction can make it hard to see even a sliver of light on the horizon. But addiction treatment is where new life can bloom for you and your family. Here’s how to help your spouse, child, parent, or sibling find addiction treatment – so you can find peace.
Understanding Addiction
Addiction is a serious disease that deserves professional treatment. You probably already know by now that all the worry and love in the world can’t do anything to fix it. Helping a loved one struggling with addiction to find addiction treatment gives them the best chance at healing their disease.
Like cancer or diabetes, addiction has a complex constellation of causes: from your genes to your lifestyle choices. Successfully treating it means identifying those causes and addressing them one by one. Addiction treatment under the care of professionals is the best way to do that.
What is Residential Addiction Treatment?
In residential addiction treatment, your loved one will be given a safe, supportive environment in which to focus on healing their addiction and its causes, 24/7. From Day 1, they’ll receive a personalized treatment plan meant to help address their unique needs, goals, and challenges. Clinicians will work with them to identify any co-occurring disorders, such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. Through a combination of therapies, counseling, and medication when appropriate, your loved one will begin to heal – and you’ll notice the difference.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) for Addiction
After residential addiction treatment, many people in early recovery opt to continue on to intensive outpatient programs (IOP) or partial hospitalization programs (PHP). These programs allow your loved one to return home to live with you, or to choose a recovery supportive community of their choice. For several hours a day, however, they meet with recovery peers and clinical team members to continue their healing and growth. Your loved one can continue to take advantage of group therapy, counseling, addiction education, and a support system to help them navigate life in early recovery. This continuum of care is vital for nurturing the seeds of recovery that are planted in residential addiction treatment.
