My friend doesn't want to undergo addiction treatment, what can I do?!


Question:

My friend doesn't want to undergo addiction treatment, what can I do?

I want to try everything short of coercing her into doing it. I mean, I can't drag her right to the treatment center, and I know that. But I just feel like it's my duty as a friend to help her see what she's doing to herself. I just can't let her go on ruining her life like this. I don't know what to do. Help please.


Answers:

You can do a drug intervention. You can take along someone close to your friend-- like a family member, or classmate, and try to convince her that she needs to get herself treated. Talk to her when she's sober. Make her see that you're sincere and that you're doing this for her own good. You can ask some professionals for help too. Hopefully, she'll agree after a few sessions of intervention. Good luck!
