Online guides are available to help individuals who have a loved one who may have an addiction disorder—or who need help themselves.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse has developed step-by-step guides for people with loved ones who might have an addiction disorder, or for people seeking to help themselves. They are in simple, “Q-&-A” format, and include easy-to-understand videos.
Among the issues addressed in these online resources are:
- how to determine if a person needs treatment;
- how and where to find the proper treatment for an individual;
- what happens in treatment; and
- how to find help in paying for drug addiction treatment services.
