In my opinion there is no way to really deal with a drug addict. They have to deal with themselves. If you cut them off they don't care. all that's really on their mind is where to get their next dosage.

How do you get through to a drug addict so they will want to quit?

There is no way to get through to a drug addict. You can talk to them. Ask them to get help, but until they want to get the help. If you are a parent or a spouse of an addict there are programs available to help you get through being part of an addicts life. You can call your local NA program listed in the phone book and ask about programs for family members like parents, spouse, even for children and see if they have any. They really do work I was married to a man for 11 years that was an acholoic, and drug addict if it had not been for these programs ........... PRAY!!!!!


Alcohol or drug addiction affects the entire family?

Alcoholism and drug addiction can, and usually does, affect the entire family. When someone is suffering from addiction, they basically become a different person and are unable to care about their family members, and themselves, in the way that they should. Sometimes family members try to help, but are discouraged when they can't change the mind of the addict. Family members need to get help just as much as the addict does. The family members can get help before the addict decides to get help. No matter what the situation is, someone's alcoholism and drug addiction affects everyone around the addict. Hopefully this helped a little bit.
