As you’d imagine this admission could bring up a lot of fear for most addicts. Their addiction could feel like a very comfortable place and an alternative could seem inconceivable. As a relative, partner or friend of an addict it can also be hard to accept that their behaviour is spiralling out of control and that the problem isn’t going to go away on its own.

Once you’ve established that the individual is displaying signs of addictive behaviour the next step is to have an open and honest conversation with them. Exposing the ‘elephant in the room’ can be a very confronting experience for you both but urge them to get help and offer your support. If this doesn’t lead them to seek out the treatment they urgently need then it might be time to consider holding an intervention.
