Resources to Help You Help Your Loved One

The transition back to daily life after substance use treatment is a time for support and skill building. Below are some ways you can help a loved one along this journey.

Also included in this email is a new educational video which explains a question we hear often from families: Is addiction a disease?

Life skills that can help your loved one in recovery

When a young person is actively using substances, they may have missed learning basic skills like interviewing for a job or managing money. Helping a loved one in recovery build these skills can help them continue to improve their overall well-being. These can include:

Practicing self-care: This means looking after yourself in whatever way works best for you. For someone in recovery, this could mean:

- keeping up with personal hygiene
- having a clean living space
- listening to their favorite music every day

Self-care can create helpful ways to manage stress and replace the urge to use substances.

Job transition support: Your loved one might benefit from finding a new job in recovery, and may need help with updating their resume, application, and interview preparations.

Financial management training: Learning skills like living within your means, opening a bank account, saving money, managing a credit card, and paying off debt can help your child transition to a more positive and stable lifestyle.
