Field Guide for Families

How to Help a Loved One

Supporting someone through meth addiction requires preparation. Consider these expedition tips.

1

Educate Yourself

Learn about meth addiction as a brain disease, not a moral failing. Methamphetamine causes severe changes to brain chemistry and structure that take time to heal.

2

Avoid Enabling

There’s a difference between helping and enabling. Stop covering for them, making excuses, or removing natural consequences of their meth use.

3

Set Boundaries with Compassion

Clear boundaries protect both of you. Be firm yet loving — “I love you, and I can’t watch you destroy yourself.”

4

Join Family Therapy

Trailhead offers monthly Zoom family education groups. Open to all family members 18+. Curriculum covers codependency, family systems, and substance use education.

5

Take Care of Yourself

You can’t lead an expedition if you’re exhausted. Seek your own therapy, attend Nar-Anon or support group meetings, and prioritize your mental health too.

6

Learn About Codependency

Family systems often develop unhealthy patterns around addiction. Understanding these dynamics is the first step to changing them.

Our family support program is open to all family members 18+. (857) 312-1697

When They’re Not Ready

What If They Refuse Treatment?

When a loved one won’t accept help, these structured communication steps can make a difference.

Step 01 — Recon

Don’t Wait for Rock Bottom

The idea that someone must “hit rock bottom” is a myth. Earlier intervention leads to better outcomes. Start gathering information and preparing now.

Step 02 — Approach

Use Compassionate Language

Express concern without judgment. Use “I’ve noticed...” instead of “You always...”. Motivational interviewing techniques can guide the conversation.

Step 03 — Establish Perimeter

Set Clear Boundaries

Boundaries aren’t ultimatums — they’re statements of what you will and won’t accept. Enforce them consistently with love and follow through.

Step 04 — Call for Backup

Consider Professional Intervention

A trained interventionist can facilitate a structured conversation. This isn’t about ambushing — it’s about organized, loving support from the whole team.

Step 05 — Emergency Protocol

Know When to Call for Help

If there’s immediate danger — overdose, psychosis, threats of self-harm — call 911. For guidance on next steps, call us anytime at (857) 312-1697.

Our admissions team can guide you through next steps — even if your loved one isn’t ready yet.

Key signs include extreme weight loss, dental deterioration, skin sores, paranoia, erratic behavior, extended periods of wakefulness, and inability to stop using despite severe consequences.

We don’t provide medical detox on-site but coordinate closely with trusted detox facilities. Meth withdrawal is primarily psychological rather than physically dangerous, and most clients can begin our program shortly after stopping use.

Most major plans are accepted including Anthem BCBS, Point 32, Tricare, and WellSense NH Medicaid. Use our verification form or call us to check your coverage in minutes.

Yes. Our Evening Professional Track (6–9 PM, Mon–Thu) is specifically designed for working adults who need treatment without disrupting their careers.

PHP typically lasts 20–30 days, followed by IOP for 60–90 days. Brain recovery from meth can take 12–18 months, so longer engagement with treatment significantly improves outcomes.

There are currently no FDA-approved medications specifically for methamphetamine addiction. Treatment relies on behavioral therapies including CBT, contingency management, and the Matrix Model, which have shown strong results.

We use CBT, DBT, ACT, contingency management, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention — individualized to each client. These behavioral approaches are the gold standard for stimulant addiction treatment.

Yes. We offer family therapy and monthly Zoom family education groups open to any family member 18+, covering codependency, communication, and family systems.

Clients step down to IOP or OP, join our alumni program, receive external therapist referrals, and maintain access to family support groups for continued growth. Ongoing support is crucial for meth recovery.
