Tools for Family Fighting Cocaine Addiction

Postby persistentone » Wed Nov 11, 2015 10:09 pm

I have a friend whose girlfriend may be in the early stages of a cocaine addiction. Her parents are getting divorced and she tends to withdraw from others and not share her problems, so drugs would be particularly appealing to someone under emotional pressure, as a way to tolerate pain. What are the best resources available for giving friends and family tools and techniques for dealing with the addicted person?

All attempts to confront her are met with extreme resistance. My feeling is my friend needs to give her some support from underneath, maybe in the form of a therapy group, or counseling, so that she can start to relief her emotional stress by means other than drugs. I'm hoping there are good books or web sites that provide some structure around how family members can do this.
