Before Your Child Returns from Treatment, Try This

6 Steps to Take Before Your Son or Daughter Returns Home from Addiction Treatment The day has finally come for you and your family to welcome your son or daughter back from a residential treatment program (rehab) for addiction to drugs or alcohol. You may be cautiously optimistic for the homecoming or you may be worried about how it will go. You may not feel ready for your child to come home yet, remembering that feeling of walking on eggshells when he or she was home last, struggling with their substance use. These feelings are completely normal and you may even be experiencing them simultaneously. You and your child are about to enter a new phase in a long process called recovery. It will still involve sacrifice for you and your family, and it’s best to talk about what that will mean for everyone and plan for it. Although you cannot control what will happen (as your son or daughter is ultimately responsible for his or her own recovery), you absolutely can be proactive and better prepared to be supportive in your child’s recovery. 1. First, it’s time for a thorough housecleaning to prevent any temptations. • Take all substances and paraphernalia you can find out of your home. • Secure all alcohol or remove it completely from your home. • Lock up your medicine cabinet and dispose of any old or unused prescriptions. • Search your son or daughter’s room for drugs, alcohol and paraphernalia — and then search it again. 2. Next, get naloxone as a prevention measure. • If your child’s substance use included opioids (heroin and prescription pain medications like Vicodin, OxyContin and Percocet), have you obtained a Naloxone kit? Naloxone (also known by the brand name Narcan) can reverse an overdose, potentially saving a loved one’s life. It’s never the wrong choice to be safe. In many states, chain drugstores, as well as some independent drugstores, are providing naloxone through their pharmacies without requiring a prescription. • Is the Naloxone kit easily accessible in your home? • Have you and your family members learned how to use the Naloxone kit? 3. Make the aftercare plan a priority. The first step is to fully understand what the treatment facility is recommending for the next steps and clarify anything that is unclear or concerning to you. Hopefully, you and your family were part of developing this “aftercare,” “discharge,” “continuing care” or “stepdown” plan — the plan for those next steps after treatment. Read 3 more steps

Sober Dating? How on Earth Do I Master Relationships? By Nicola Lee, Tuesday, July 30, 2019 9:40 AM Life as a single sober person can be difficult.  And sober dating? Fellowship meetings are not social clubs, and I tend to focus on recovery and helping others while there. So it’s difficult to meet someone (although it does happen). I am also acutely aware that many of my fellows share stories of partners who […] The post Sober Dating? How on Earth Do I Master Relationships? appeared first on Sanford House. Read more »
