- Understand that addiction is not a moral choice but a brain disorder that requires professional assistance. Like any chronic disease, such as diabetes or hypertension, addiction can be managed by informed and long-term treatment.
- Assure your loved one that she/he will be treated with respect and empathy by the IAC team; we will work with them to “get their lives back.”
- The moment your loved one is ready to try treatment, dial our number immediately and have him/her talk with us directly. Our nurse care manager understands and will schedule him/her quickly to visit with our drug rehab team at our Memphis clinic.
- For a minor, a parent or guardian can insist on treatment. But, it is unlikely to be successful unless the patient is engaged, willing, and motivated.
- For a person over 18, you can only employ persuasion. Try to motivate the patient to make the connection for her/him-self.
You won’t give up on your loved one and neither will we.
