When trying to help a loved one who is struggling with a crack cocaine addiction it is important to remain supportive and non-judgemental. You should try to create a space where your loved one feels safe and comfortable speaking openly about their dependency. It may be helpful to educate yourself on the potential causes of addiction and what can trigger relapse so that you can better understand the struggles that your loved one is facing. There are also practical steps you can take as their support system, including connecting them with resources in the community and offering to participate in any support programmes or peer groups that they may choose to join.
