Why does 1-to-1 discussion seem fruitless with someone with a substance use disorder? Addicted people tend to keep friends and family off balance, telling different stories to different people, pitting one against another, and playing the blame game. When family and friends come together in a serious learning, training, and rehearsal process, they become a powerful force for good in their loved one's life. In fact, family and friends are the perfect group, as they have the best intentions and the power of love.
