Learn about addiction and the substance your family member is using. Understanding the nature of addiction can help you provide better support. 

Talk to your family member in a non-judgmental, empathetic manner. Express your concerns and let them know you're there to help. 

That's why you're here, right? Encourage your family member to see a healthcare professional or other support who specializes in addiction. They can assess the situation and recommend appropriate treatment.

Establish clear boundaries and consequences for their actions. This can help protect your own well-being and motivate them to seek help. 

Let your family member know you care about their well-being. Offer emotional support without enabling their addiction.

Encourage them to join support groups and other peer communities. These environments provide a sense of community and understanding. 

Don't provide money or resources that could be used for substance misuse. Enablement can perpetuate the problem.

Recovery is a process, and relapses can happen. Be patient and supportive throughout their journey.

Caring for yourself is essential. Seek your support and consider therapy or counseling for yourself to cope with the stress.
