The authors wrote this book for one purpose: to teach family members and friends of people with substance abuse issues a specific set of skills that will help them survive the stress loving an addict creates in their lives. The authors share with the reader ways to deal with the fear, anger, helplessness, and the conflict they may experience in their attempts to both help the addicted family member and protect themselves from them as well. Most books in this genre focus on how to "fix" the addict. They assume that getting the addict into a treatment program is the final solution to the problem. The authors of this book know from experience that there is no quick fix for addiction. Recovery from addiction is a lifelong project. For this reason, this book focuses on (1) providing accurate and useful information about addiction; and (2) teaching the specific skills that are essential for family members to learn and practice. What do family members need to know, what do they need to do, and how can they go about learning and doing those things? This book systematically explains how to create and maintain healthy boundaries, how to work effectively as a team, how to find and use appropriate support, how to improve communication with the addicted member and other family members, and other valuable skills that lead to a better quality of life. This book is for families to help themselves over a lifetime, regardless of whether their addicted member ever gets help, gets help and relapses, or gets help and stays clean and sober. The skills that enable the family to improve its quality of life in the face of addiction turn out to be the same skills that provide the addict an optimal environment for recovery. The emphasis throughout is on you, the family member or friend of the addict. When addiction enters a family, the whole family embarks on a journey. This book is a unique guide for individuals or groups who want to learn the skills and behaviors essential for negotiating that path with the best chance for a positive outcome.

Loved One in Treatment? Now What! offers a F first-of-its-kind handbook for family members and friends navigating the path of a loved one's substance abuse, addiction, treatment, and recovery. This book combines the most current brain and addiction-related research with the author's 40 years of experience coping with family alcoholism and alcohol abuse, giving readers the answers they are looking for and easing the pain and confusion that accompany a loved one's destructive behavior. What makes Frederiksen's book especially unique is her explanation of second-hand drinking/drugging (SHDD), namely the impact that one person's substance misuse can have on others-how it happens, how it can be reversed, and how family members and friends can live productive lives, regardless of what their loved one does. Using easy-to-understand explanations of the latest research and graphically depicting the effect of substance misuse on the brain (thanks to advances in brain imaging technologies), Loved One In Treatment? Now What! answers additional questions, such as: * How can addiction be a brain disease? * What causes addiction? * Why do some people become addicts/alcoholics and others do not? * What is "effective" treatment? * Is there a difference between treatment and recovery? * Who among family members and friends can help a loved one get treatment? Or can they? * What does coping with a loved one's addiction do to family members and friends, and what is available to help them?

The family recovery classic, Addict in the Family, has been revised and updated to offer parents and other family members even greater support when faced with the reality of a loved one’s addiction. Solid, actionable advice and information about what helps and what doesn’t—and how to care for themselves—make this an indispensable guide. For families of addicts, fear, shame, and confusion over a loved one’s addiction can cause deep anxiety, sleepless nights, and even physical illness. The emotional distress family members suffer is often compounded by the belief that they somehow caused or contributed to their loved one’s addiction—or that they could have done something to prevent it. Addict in the Family is a book about the pain of addiction, but more importantly it is a book of comfort, understanding, and hope for anyone struggling with a loved one’s addiction. As the compelling personal stories reveal, family members do not cause their loved one’s addiction—nor can they control or cure it. What family members can do is find support, set boundaries, detach with love, and eventually discover how to enjoy life more fully. This book helps them do just that—whether the loved one achieves recovery or not.
