Supporting someone through addiction recovery is challenging. Here are evidence-based approaches to help.
Understand that alcohol addiction is a medical condition, not a moral failing. Learn about the disease model, how it changes the brain, and why willpower alone isn’t enough.
Stop covering for their behavior, making excuses, or shielding them from consequences. Enabling delays the moment they recognize they need help.
Communicate clear boundaries with compassion. “I love you, and I won’t participate in behaviors that support your addiction.”
Trailhead offers individual family therapy sessions and monthly Zoom education groups covering codependency, family systems, and substance use education.
Your mental health matters too. Consider therapy for yourself, join a support group (Al-Anon), and maintain your own routines and boundaries.
Choose a time when they’re sober. Use “I” statements: “I’m worried about you” rather than “You have a problem.” Offer specific help.
Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients.
Call for Family SupportIt’s common for people struggling with alcohol addiction to resist treatment. This doesn’t mean recovery is impossible — it means a different approach may be needed.
A structured, guided intervention led by a professional can break through denial and help your loved one see the impact of their drinking.
Rather than confrontation, express concern with empathy. Motivational interviewing techniques focus on their own reasons for wanting change.
Follow through on consequences you’ve communicated. Boundaries protect your wellbeing and can motivate change.
People move through precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Meeting them where they are is more effective than pushing.
If there’s immediate danger — suicidal thoughts, severe withdrawal symptoms, or risk of harm — call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
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.
Call (857) 312-1697Our family support program provides education and community for anyone affected by a loved one’s alcohol addiction.
Topics include codependency, family systems, substance use education, and building a recovery-supportive home.
Trailhead Treatment Center is located in the medical and behavioral health corridor of Salem, New Hampshire. We provide alcohol addiction treatment for adults throughout greater New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts.
Conveniently accessible via I-93 and Route 28, with clients commuting from:
Dually licensed in New Hampshire and Massachusetts — serving clients from both states.
Common signs include increased tolerance (needing more alcohol to feel the same effects), withdrawal symptoms when not drinking (shaking, sweating, anxiety), inability to control how much or how often you drink, neglecting responsibilities at work or home, and continuing to drink despite negative consequences in your relationships or health.
Treatment length varies by individual need. Our PHP program typically lasts 20–30 days, IOP runs 60–90 days, and ongoing outpatient support continues as needed. 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.
