    HOW TO HELP SOMEONE WITH A DRUG OR ALCOHOL PROBLEM

    • Don’t confront a person while the person is high or drunk. Wait until the effects have completely worn off.
    • Expect to be put on the defensive. A person with a substance abuse problem will vehemently deny it.
    • State your intentions that you are confronting the person out of caring and concern, not blame or judgment.
    • State your motivation that you are having the conversation because you care.
    • Be firm in your presentation. Come prepared with specific examples of out-of-control behavior.
    • Present your observations of the person’s behavior. Focus on what you see happening to the person and the lives of those around him or her. Be very specific.
    • Express how the person’s behavior makes you feel.
    • State why you think the person needs help in stopping the addiction.
    • State what you will do next. Assist the person in getting help and/or involving others in an intervention.
