Some people worry that if they ‘force’ someone into treatment for alcohol or drug addiction the person will resent them, and maybe not make it through alcohol or drug rehab. In fact, that is not necessarily true.

It can be difficult to get an addict willing to get treatment, but once they get started -when they’re no longer on alcohol or drugs and are actually starting to feel better - they are happy you took action.

Amy Winehouse’s husband is the perfect example. When Winehouse first went into rehab she left because her husband had threatened suicide if she left him alone. Winehouse left, and got right back into drugs.

After that, her husband was busted on assault charges, put in jail, and forced to get off drugs. Now his attitude is completely overturned and he wants Amy to get into treatment.

Don’t be afraid to get the person you care about into a drug rehab program - often all they need is to get on the road to recovery, see that they can reclaim their life, and they’ll thank you helping them.
