Relapse - It Happens (But it Doesn't Have to Be the End of the Road)
What do you do if your loved one relapses? "It's the same old story, the same old song and dance." -Steven Tyler/Aerosmith The above bit of lyrics, from a song by Aerosmith is a good analogy for an addict that chooses to try some more "controlled using" (better known as relapse). Unfortunately, Steven recently checked himself into a rehab center after twenty years of recovery from drugs and alcohol. Why? How does something like this happen? Perhaps more importantly, the question can be: When this happens close to home, what can I do to help--as a conce ed friend or loved one?r

Siblings - The Forgotten Ones - How Siblings Get Hurt
The Parable of the Prodigal Son While he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with compassion the father ran to the son, threw his arms around him and said, "Welcome home." His son had come to his senses. "Let's have a party!" His brother refused to come to the party even after his father pleaded with him to join them. "I've stayed here all these years and never caused a problem. No one ever had a party for me," said the brother. -paraphrased from the Gospel of Luke

Drug and Alcohol Abuse Intervention: Intervention’s Critical Role for Family Recovery
What every family needs to know about drug and alcohol abuse interventionrn~by Joe Herzanek As I move into my third decade working with families and their substance abusing loved ones, I continue to learn. My recent observations have led me to complete my training and now focus primarily on the process of drug and alcohol abuse intervention. Most people, and many addiction professionals as well, have thought of this as just a way to get someone into treatment. What I’ve come to realize is that a properly executed, well-organized intervention serves several purposes.

12-Step Recovery and “Things of God.” A Perfect Match.
~ by Joe Herzanek I’m often asked, especially by many in the Christian Community, if the AA 12-step program conflicts with Biblical Christianity. Some feel that the two just don’t go together. Personally, after three decades of studying and being part of both groups, I have to disagree.

Is an addict ever cured?
IS AN ADDICT EVER CURED?rn~ by Joe Herzanek In today’s world in which more and more information is readily available, there seems to be more and more confusion regarding the topic of an “Addiction Cure.” Is there a cure for addiction? Some people would argue quite convincingly that there is. I will point out that “even quitting use completely, for many years—does not mean that someone is cured.”

Detachment. How Can I?
When life becomes one crisis after another, when emotional pain and endless drama become “the norm” what am I supposed to do? Over the past few decades I’ve received this question a lot. Recently it has become the #1 question. Why is that? What do I suggest to families who have arrived at this place? How about this: My suggestion is to do NOTHING! Stop “doing.” Quit “doing.” No longer “DO” anything. Let’s talk about letting go and what that looks like (sometimes referred to as detachment). So there—I’ve said it; The “D” word, The Ultimatum, The Nuclear Option. When to use it
