How to Help a Loved One with Opioid Addiction

Supporting someone through opioid addiction recovery is challenging and can feel urgent due to overdose risks. Here are evidence-based approaches to help.

📚

Educate Yourself

Understand that opioid addiction is a medical condition, not a moral failing. Learn how opioids hijack the brain’s reward system, why withdrawal is so difficult, and why willpower alone isn’t enough.

💊

Carry Narcan (Naloxone)

Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose in minutes. Keep it accessible, learn how to use it, and ensure others in your household know where it is. Available at most pharmacies without a prescription in NH.

🤝

Set Boundaries

Communicate clear boundaries with compassion. “I love you, and I won’t participate in behaviors that support your addiction.” Stop covering for them or providing money.

👥

Family Therapy

Trailhead offers individual family therapy sessions and monthly Zoom education groups covering codependency, family systems, and substance use education.

💚

Take Care of Yourself

Your mental health matters too. Consider therapy for yourself, join a support group (Nar-Anon or Al-Anon), and maintain your own routines and boundaries.

💬

Have the Conversation

Choose a time when they’re not under the influence. Use “I” statements: “I’m worried about you” rather than “You have a problem.” Offer specific help, like calling Trailhead together.

Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients.

What If They Refuse Treatment?

It’s common for people struggling with opioid addiction to resist treatment. This doesn’t mean recovery is impossible — it means a different approach may be needed.

1

Consider a Professional Intervention

A structured, guided intervention led by a professional can break through denial and help your loved one see the impact of their opioid use.

2

Use Motivational Approaches

Rather than confrontation, express concern with empathy. Motivational interviewing techniques focus on their own reasons for wanting change.

3

Set Clear Boundaries

Follow through on consequences you’ve communicated. Boundaries protect your wellbeing and can motivate change.

4

Understand Stages of Change

People move through precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Meeting them where they are is more effective than pushing.

5

Know When to Call for Help

If there’s immediate danger — signs of overdose (blue lips, slow breathing, unresponsive), suicidal thoughts, or risk of harm — call 911 immediately. Keep Narcan (naloxone) accessible at all times.

📞

We Can Help Even If They’re Not Ready

Our admissions team can guide you through next steps, discuss intervention options, and help you prepare for when your loved one is ready to accept help.

Opioid Addiction Treatment FAQ

Common signs include increased tolerance (needing higher doses to feel the same effects), withdrawal symptoms when not using (flu-like symptoms, muscle aches, nausea, sweating, insomnia, anxiety), inability to stop or control use, doctor shopping or obtaining opioids from multiple sources, and using more than prescribed.

Treatment length varies by individual need. Our PHP program typically lasts 20–30 days, IOP runs 60–90 days, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) may be ongoing. Most clients benefit from a step-down approach — starting with higher intensity and gradually transitioning to less structured support.

Trailhead does not provide medical detox on-site. However, we coordinate closely with trusted detox facilities in the area and can often admit clients to our PHP program within 24–48 hours of completing detox. Our admissions team will help arrange the transition.

Our on-site Nurse Practitioner can prescribe Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone), Subutex (buprenorphine), and Vivitrol (naltrexone) to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Methadone referrals are also coordinated when appropriate. Medication is always combined with therapy and counseling. Clients have a choice between tapering off medication or long-term maintenance.

Absolutely. Our Evening Professional Track (6–9 PM, Monday through Thursday) is specifically designed for working adults. We also offer afternoon IOP sessions and telehealth options. You can switch between time slots daily based on your work schedule.

Most major insurance plans cover opioid addiction treatment. We are in-network with Anthem BCBS, Point 32 Health (Harvard Pilgrim + Tufts), Tricare, Uprise Health, and WellSense (NH Medicaid). Our admissions team can verify your benefits in minutes — call (857) 312-1697 or use our online form.

We use a combination of evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), 12-Step facilitation, SMART Recovery, relapse prevention, trauma-informed care, and holistic approaches like breathwork, yoga, and meditation.

No. Medications like Suboxone and Vivitrol are FDA-approved treatments that reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing the euphoric high of opioids. They stabilize brain chemistry so clients can engage effectively in therapy. MAT is always combined with counseling and behavioral therapy for a comprehensive approach to recovery.

We plan for aftercare from day one. Options include stepping down to IOP or OP, enrolling in our alumni program, continued MAT if clinically appropriate, referrals to external therapists and psychiatrists, continued access to family support groups, and sober living coordination. Recovery is a lifelong journey and we provide ongoing support.

Our differentiators include: a family-style environment where staff know every client by name, flexible scheduling across morning/afternoon/evening tracks, staff with both professional credentials and lived recovery experience, on-site Nurse Practitioner for immediate MAT management, 12:1 counselor caseloads for personalized attention, and same-day admission availability when clinically appropriate.
