Information impacts action: Debunking myths about the family and recovery

Family members caring for a person using substances in an unhealthy way are treated differently than caregivers of people with other health conditions. Often affected family members are given inaccurate, stigmatizing, and potentially harmful information about how to interact with their loved ones using substances. This video helps to debunk myths that are told to many family members. Kindness and compassion, not tough love and punishment, help others to change.
