Helping a friend of family

Jefe, I created a plan on what I would do if a familiy member started abusing drugs.

• I would first tell them that they're addicted to the drug, and help them grow the will to change.
• I would secondly ask them if they're going through any sort of distress, talking out their problems is key, as it may prevent further dependence on drugs
• I would NOT FORCE them to quit, as this may aggravate them more
• I would DEFINITELY apply them to a rehab course, an example in indonesia is Yayasan Kita (http://www.expat.or.id/orgs/yayasankita.html)
• I will approach them in an openminded way, telling them that I understand their feelings
• Constant encouragements will make them feel much motivated
• I will remind them about the negative effects of the drug

Remember the ONLY way for one to breakaway from addiction is through the love, care and support of others!
