The support of friends and family plays an integral role in recovering from addiction. Since recovery is a lifelong journey, having supportive family members who understand the process is of profound importance. Family members who are well informed about addiction recovery can greatly increase chances of success throughout the recovery process, and in some cases can help keep addicts accountable. But most of the time, it doesn't go well because family members often lose their calm or the addict does. Substance abuse counsellors can help families understand the complex road to recovery, and offer support for the difficult journey ahead.

At EduPsych, with our experts, family members can feel connected to the recovery process and provide input over their experiences.

Family members who experience a loved one battling with a substance use disorder often endure a host of painful emotions. And when you try to overcome all your past deeds just by saying a simple sorry that shouldn't be enough. 

Remember that your loved ones are also going through similar changes in their emotions that you are facing while recovering. So don't just give up on the idea of recovery if your relationship doesn't work out for good because you’ve opted for recovery. This takes time and persistence.

At EduPsych, you will find therapists who will guide you through the recovery period while working on the strategies to better your relationships.

If you are thinking that once you are sober, your relationships will start to workout automatically then please re-evaluate your understanding because this is a myth.

Substance abuse and addiction can damage family dynamics, erode trust, and weaken communication. Your partner needs time to cope with the changes when you are in the early recovery stage. It could be equally frustrating for you as well as your loved ones. Even though the damage done by abusing harmful substances can be lasting, you can always rely on therapy. 

Start early and be persistent with your therapy so that you can work on your relationships while going under substance recovery.

If you have found yourself struggling with handling relationships in your early recovery phase then please know that this is quite normal. Quitting is not only a different experience for you but also for everyone around you.
