Drug
and Alcohol Related Problems
Increased
consumption of alcohol or turning to drugs in
order to deal with stress is a signal that things
are getting on top of you. Often family
members are drawn into the problems associated
with behaviours resulting from too much alcohol
or taking even prescribed drugs. This results
in emotional distress and decreased support from
family members and friends just when you need
them the most.
Become
aware of stressors
counseling
will help you identify the problems you face and
offer appropriate alternatives to managing them.
Family members will also benefit from counseling
- they will learn to understand your behaviours
and support you.
