I believe my son/daughter is taking my prescription medication. II. Family: Spouse/Partner How do I talk to them to get them to stop? My spouse says they are going to quit but they don’t? I’m divorced and my spouse has the children half time. I believe my spouse is using drugs? My spouse is drinking all the time, but I don’t know if he/she is an alcoholic? III. Recovery/Cycle of Addiction What is the cycle of addiction and how does it relate to recovery? How do I break the cycle of addiction in my life? Don’t addicts have to want to be treated? Isn’t a drug addict a person with weak character? V. Intervention/Support/Treatment What happens when you call a treatment center about an intervention? What happens during an intervention?
