What is the best way to support a friend who has self-enrolled in a substance-abuse recovery program?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Support: The best way to support a friend in a substance abuse program is to be there, not only physically but mentally. People in substance abuse programs still will have emotional and enviromental stresses where they may need to have someone to lean on. Also a changes in knowing better what led them to become addicted may need to be avoided. All in all support means being there for him or her.
