For Families who have gone through a loved ones drug abuse and watch the process happen there isn't anything you can do but encourage them to get the help they need, such as AA. AA is where you go and meet up with other addicts for just people that are having troubles in life and have the courage to come up and say it, and tell their stories to others. Hoping that their story will help someone who is going through a similar situation to speak up as well. If the illness (addiction) is extreme you or your loved one can find help at detox. Detox is a like a sober home but you have absolutely no way of getting to your drug of choice. You are put in a room, unable to reach any drugs. This may seem severe and awful but you do what you have to do when you have a family. Other ways are just talking and going to the doctor to get directed to these meetings and detox centers.
