Coping with alcohol and drug problems in your family



This 5-Step self-help programme is designed by the Alcohol, Drugs and Family (ADF) research group. The programme supports family / network members who are concerned about their relative's alcohol or drug misuse.

If you are a family or 'network' member (for example: a good friend, a house-sharer, maybe a concerned employer) of someone who is using alcohol or drugs problematically then this self-help programme may be of help to you.

It has been found effective in different formats; both in face-to-case delivery by General Practitioners, nurses, health educators and counsellors, as well as in a self-help manual. This support is now being made accessible on the web. . . . . .
