How families can support an adult seeking care

Substance use and mental health concerns often affect more than one person. Family members may feel worried, uncertain, frustrated, or unsure how to begin a conversation. A calm, nonjudgmental approach can make it easier to discuss care. Families can focus on observable concerns, listen to the adult’s perspective, and gather reliable information about available treatment without making promises about placement or results.

The adult’s needs and choices guide family involvement
