Understanding What Happens to the Family of an Alcoholic | Addict
For a better understanding of what happens to the family of an alcoholic or drug addict when their loved one enters treatment, please consider watching this interview on the subject, downloaded in two parts – each 15 minutes long.
What Happens to the Family of an Alcoholic/Addict
The following two-part interview was conducted by Gabrielle Antolovich, host of CreaTV, San Jose, CA, “Perspectives in Healthy Living,” and Executive Director for Voices United, the Silicon Valley Resource on Substance Abuse and Addiction. Gabrielle interviewed me last Fall to talk about what happens to the family when a loved one enters treatment, the subject of my new book, Loved One In Treatment? Now What!, available on 10th Anniversary Edition If You Loved Me, You’d Stop!and Barnes & Noble.
This book is also an excellent resource for people who are wondering about a loved one who drinks too much — whether they are or are not an addict/alcoholic; how to get them into treatment if they are and what to expect of treatment if they do. It is also an excellent resource for a person who is concerned about their own drug and/or alcohol abuse — wondering whether it is an addiction or alcoholism or just a case of using/drinking too much.
Most of all, it is a book for family members to better understand what happens to them as a result of living with a loved one who drinks too much or abuses drugs and what they can do to change their lives, regardless of whether their loved one seeks treatment or not.
