Has a loved one ever asked you these questions?
- Why do you have to go every day?
- How long are you going to be doing this?
- Aren’t you just substituting one thing for another?
- Why can’t you just stop?
Many family members do not understand the nature of addiction. Let us help family understand!
Spectrum offers a Family Education Forum to family and friends of individuals in recovery. The family education forum teaches family and friends about medication-assisted treatment, the signs and symptoms of an overdose, how to respond to an overdose and where to purchase the life-saving drug naloxone. The family education forum also offers family support and answers questions regarding addiction, treatment and available community resources.
