How can  I stop someone I care about from drinking too much and/or taking drugs?

You can not stop a family member or friend drinking too much and/or taking drugs. They have to recognise that they have a problem and are ready to do something about the issues themselves.

However, we can offer you support, somewhere to gather correct information and work on coping strategies that may help you deal with the issues you are facing because of someone elses alcohol and/or drug use.

Please see Do you need help for more information on our work with concerned others.
