Will the Support of Friends and Family for Someone Undergoing Addiction Treatment Really Make a Difference?

Question by adamaris cm: Will the support of friends and family for someone undergoing addiction treatment really make a difference?
I have an uncle who is going to undergo rehabilitation to get himself treated for his drug addiction. The thing is, his family isn’t being supportive. Instead of being happy that he’s finally turning his life around, they’re complaining about the rehab fees. I was just wondering if it would be really better for him if his family is there to encourage and support him.

Answer by divya 3xb
I think family and friends are really important for someone who is going through addiction treatment. The love, support, and understanding of those dear to the patient will surely help him in dealing with the whole predicament. Moreover, the involvement of family and friends in the program will be able to help extend its benefits, as well as strengthen family ties. Family and friends can act as a network of support for when the patient goes out of rehab and help him so that he won’t relapse. As for your uncle’s family, maybe you could enlighten them about this. I do hope that your uncle gets treated soon. I’ll keep him in my prayers.
