If you know your child struggles with substances or drugs that you usually have available in your home (like alcohol, prescription medications, over-the-counter medications like DayQuil, NyQuil, pain medications, etc.) – help them by limiting access, and modeling either moderate use or abstinence from substances. You may choose to lock cabinets in your home where these things are stored, or even better, get rid of them safely if you can. In addition to removing access to things that are harmful, make sure you make it easy for your child to do other things that are good for them. Set up a safe place at home where your child can spend time doing things they enjoy when they feel strong emotions or drug cravings. Replacing a bad habit with something more helpful and useful helps your child’s recovery.
When you see your child doing something harmful or dangerous, it’s easy to jump in and try to stop the behavior right away. But as kids get older, it’s important to help them make these decisions themselves – you won’t be able to control your child’s behaviors forever if they eventually live on their own, and they will need to learn how to keep themselves safe without you if they are going to recover and succeed in treatment. The best thing you can do to protect your child is to focus on your relationship with them. Spend time together doing things you both enjoy, and encourage open communication as much as you can. This is a much better and more effective strategy than just trying to stop the behaviors that aren’t helping them.
Talk to your child and their treatment provider about their goals for treatment and make sure you are in agreement about what to expect and what you are working towards. Different people think differently about substance use treatment: some families want to focus first on abstinence, or making sure your child is not using any substances or drugs at the start of treatment. Other families want to start with harm reduction, or making sure that your child is using drugs in safe ways and then gradually decreasing their use over time as appropriate. If you are expecting total abstinence at the start of treatment and your provider starts with harm reduction strategies, it’s going to be hard to work together to help your child. Make sure everyone knows what the treatment plan is and what the primary goals are at the start of treatment. Goals can change over time, so you can always revisit this conversation with your child and their provider at any time in the future!
