The support of family and friends is necessary in the treatment of all addictions. It may sound paradoxical, but family members often, consciously or unconsciously, support their member’s addiction. Most often by taking on the responsibilities and obligations that belong to the addict, thus protecting them from the consequences of their actions. Often, family members and people who are close to an addict deny the problem, justify their behavior and take on the consequences of addiction. This can only delay or derail the treatment. It is necessary for all family members to face the problem and to take meaningful steps towards solving it. To teach them how to provide adequate support to the addict, we involve family and other treatment sponsors actively in our FAST Recovery treatment program. Treatment sponsors are thus able to recognize when the crisis and ways of overcoming it. In case you need help motivating an addict for treatment, schedule a consultation by calling +381 69 30 88 090 (mobile, WhatsApp / Viber) or send us an email to: addiction@lorijen.center
