My adult son is going through detox and the whole family is trying to help but we're all responding to his physical symptoms differently - some of us want to rush him to the hospital every time he shakes, others think we're babying him, and he's caught in the middle while his body is going through hell. We love him but we're making his recovery harder because we can't agree on what support looks like.
More people experience this than they realize.
A family's different responses to the physical realities of withdrawal are creating additional chaos during an already vulnerable time.
