Your Family Is Hurting Because It Has An Addict Living With Them

By Monique Astors


Is your family having to deal with addiction? Your loved brother, sister or parent has an addiction that you cannot stop. In many families across America today, addiction is destroying people. Addiction has a lot of do with people hurting inside of their hearts. Addiction is more than just shooting up heroin or smoking crack. Rehabs teach us that there are many deep rooted issues as to why someone turns to drugs/alcohol for help. It is possible to get help for addicted people today. However, there are many hurting families out there that need help on a regular basis.

Going through an alcohol and drug rehab takes good insurance and lots of money. Many medical billers have to turn addicts away because they do not have the proper private insurance to get them through the program. Many government programs that try to help addicts have long waiting lists. However, if someone is addicted to heroin badly, they need help within 24 hours. If they don't get the help that they need, then they often have an overdose that is often fatal. Heroin overdoses are on the rise in America today.

Many drugs today are manufactured in Mexico. I am talking about illegal drugs like meth, cocaine, heroin and molly. You will find that these drugs are making it into the United States at alarming rates. They are being widely distributed in white middle class suburbs. It is uncertain as to why these areas are targeted the most. State like New York, Florida and New Jersey seem to have higher amounts of heroin coming into the states. In order to combat this, more treatment has to be given.

It is important to have a plan of action in order to combat this in your own family. For starters, call a treatment center and ask them how you can help your loved one. Verify with the medical biller that your loved ones insurance can be taken at that facility. If it cannot be taken, find a rehab that does accept the insurance. It is important to take things easily. One day at a time often works. Most people do not understand entirely how the process works. However, staying informed helps you and a family member to get help. Hope is just around the corner and often is less complicated as you learn what to do.

If you are like me, you want to help your family member to recover and get well. It is best to come together as a family and discuss what needs to happen in order to have the addict get help. Help only happens when you feel like it's important to receive it. There is lot of psychological issues going on with someone that takes drugs. Often, addicts were molested or abused and are trying to run from their pain. Drugs are often an easy outlet for someone that is struggling with an addiction. There is not addiction that cannot be helped. It is important to have an intervention for your loved one ASAP. Their life is depending on it as each day passes.
