Family members and addiction: Why can't they just say no?
When addiction strikes a family member, the whole family system is affected. Finding solutions can be a trying, gut-wrenching ordeal, testing the best of families.
A foundation focused on families with addicts of prescription drugs! We educate and provide open forums for families to learn how to act, not react with an addict in their lives. We also work with local governments in helping to pass laws that promote accountability for physicians and pharmacist in the prescribing of addictive drugs. We believe in not just fixing the addict but fixing the environment they will return to.
They can't say NO, because their brain has been altered, and does not process anything, the way a abstaining individual does. This is a fact. More than sheer will is needed.
