It is very important that you don’t enable a loved one with a benzodiazepine addiction as this will only make their problem worse.
Enabling behaviours include:
Making excuses for their behaviour
Hiding their problem from others
Doing things for them that they should be doing themselves
Giving them money to feed their addiction or pay their bills or other expenses
Protecting them from the consequences of their actions
Enabling behaviours often stem from a place of love and concern but it is important to remember that they are not helping the person with an addiction, they are only making things worse.
